National Medical Commission Act

The National Medical Commission Act, enacted in 2019, established a new regulatory body called the National Medical Commission (NMC) to oversee medical education and practice in India. It replaced the Medical Council of India to promote high standards, ensure quality education, regulate medical institutions, and improve healthcare. The NMC aims for transparency, accountability, and timely accreditation while reducing bureaucratic hurdles. It also emphasizes medical students' welfare and encourages ethical practices among healthcare professionals. Overall, it modernizes medical regulation to enhance healthcare quality and access across the country.
