Suspend National Medical Commission: Indian Medical Association
Dr Laxman Kumar of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) here on Wednesday demanded the government to suspend National Medical Commission (NMC) which was introduced in the place of MCI by the Central government.
Karimnagar: Dr Laxman Kumar of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) here on Wednesday demanded the government to suspend National Medical Commission (NMC) which was introduced in the place of MCI by the Central government. Speaking to the media persons in press meet held here at IMA hall, Dr Laxman Kumar said that the Medical Council of India (MCI) is formed in the year 1956 as per the Constitution of India with an aim of protecting the medical services and to supervise the medical education.
But, the central government by suspending MCI, it introduced NMC which is against as per law. It is nothing but, the central government is using its political power to show its supremacy over health sector. It is same like suspending the voting right of a normal citizen.
The reason why IMA is opposing the NMC is, with introduction of NMC, the medical services will become costly for normal people and will hinder the medical sector present in the nation. The private and corporate hospital along with medical colleges will gain more with NMC. Ineligible persons will get chance to do medical services.
The corruption will increase in medical sector along with decreasing of education standards in medicines. Appointing of persons who are in any way not related to medical field will not improve the medical standards. That is why, the IMA is opposing the NMC which is introduced in the place of MCI, he added and demanded the government to suspend NMC.
