💨 Abstract

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has decided to hear patient complaints against doctors for medical negligence or professional misconduct. Patients can now file appeals with the NMC's Ethics and Medical Registration Board against State Medical Councils' decisions. The decision, yet to be formalized, was taken at a meeting in 2023. Necessary amendments to the NMC Act are required for formalization.
