Overview

New Delhi: The National medical Commission's (NMC) centralized database for registered medical practitioners in modern medicine, National Medical Register (NMR), is struggling to live up to its ambitious promises as only 284 doctors' names have been included in the NMR, while 6,198 applications were not approved, and 2 were rejected outright, reveals an RTI reply.

Aimed at ensuring an authentic, dynamic, and consolidated database of Registered Medical Practitioners (RMPs), the portal promised a hassle-free and efficient registration process. However, the reality has fallen far short.
