Several key positions Lying Vacant in NMC That Regulates Medical Education, Practice

New Delhi: Several key positions remain vacant in the National Medical Commission (NMC), the regulatory body overseeing medical education and practice in India. According to a Right to Information (RTI) response, 10 out of 19 posts are currently unoccupied.

The Union Ministry of Health has indicated that appointments for these vacant positions are under process. The NMC, established in 2020 to replace the Medical Council of India (MCI), has faced scrutiny in the past, particularly regarding internal conflicts, reluctance to make inspection reports public, and a controversial change in its official logo.
