Overview

Even though altogether 30 doctors were found guilty of accepting a foreign trip worth Rs 1.9 crore sponsored by pharma company AbbVie, the Government has sent only 27 names to the National Medical Commission (NMC) for taking action, the TOI has reported.

Confirming this, NMC Chairperson Dr. Abhijat Sheth told TOI that the Apex Medical Commission received the names of 27 doctors in September 2025. Reportedly, subsequently, these names were forwarded to the nine State Medical Councils, where those doctors were registered "for inquiry and appropriate action".
