The Minister disclosed the details while responding to the queries raised by Parliament member Shri N K Premachandran, who also sought to know whether the Government proposes to ensure a uniform staff pattern of doctors, nurses and other staff in the Government Medical Colleges and Medical College Hospitals in Kerala, the details of doctors and staff of different categories in every department of each of the said Government Medical Colleges and Hospitals in Kerala as per the bed strength and the norms fixed by the Union Government, whether the Government has initiated any action to ensure sufficient human resources including doctors in the said Medical Colleges and Hospitals in Kerala, and whether the Government has sought any report on the death of a patient due to alleged negligence in the Thiruvananthapuram Medical College of Kerala.
In response, Minister Nadda stated, "The National Medical Commission (NMC) has framed Minimum Standard Requirement (MSR) Regulations,2023 and the Medical Institutions (Qualification of Faculty) Regulations,2025 to ensure sufficient human resources in medical colleges & Hospitals."
The key provisions are as under:
All teaching staff shall be full-time, and faculty are prohibited from engaging in private practice during college functioning hours.
Medical colleges and their teaching hospitals must provide additional staff proportionate to the workload, ensuring that adequate non-teaching personnel are available in OPDs, inpatient wards, operation theatres, intensive care units, emergency areas, and labour rooms.
Visiting faculty may be engaged to enhance the comprehensiveness and quality of undergraduate teaching.
Senior Residents, Junior Residents, and Medical Officers shall be appointed in various hospital areas such as wards, labour rooms, intensive care units, emergency wards, and clinical laboratories to provide round-the-clock services.
Non-medical graduates with MSc and PhD (relevant medical) qualifications from NMC-recognized/accredited Medical Colleges/Institutes can be appointed as faculty.
Non-teaching Consultants/Specialists /Medical Officers and Diploma holders have been made eligible for Assistant Professor.
He further added, "It has been informed by the State Government of Kerala that requirement of the man power in the medical colleges has been fixed as per the requirement of the institution and in compliance with the norms of NMC. Further, health being a state subject, the responsibility of filling-up the vacant posts lies with the State government."
"National Medical Commission Act, 2019 empowers State Medical Council (SMC) to take disciplinary action in respect of any professional or ethical misconduct including medical negligence by a registered medical practitioner in accordance with the regulations/guidelines framed under the Act. Accordingly, no report has been sought by the Central government," further stated the Minister.
