Indian Medical Council

It ensures that doctors are qualified, maintain professional standards, and adhere to ethical practices. The council sets curriculum standards for medical colleges, grants licenses to practice medicine, and takes disciplinary action if necessary. Its role is to protect public health by maintaining the quality and integrity of medical professionals and ensuring trustworthy healthcare delivery across the country.
