One nation, One registration platform’ for doctors will be launched by the National Medical Commission.
The regulatory body for medical education and medical professionals, the National Medical Commission, has launched “one nation, one registration platform’‘.
The aim of the platform is to eliminate duplication and allow the public to get information about any physician working in India.
In the next six months, NMC will launch the National Medical Register (NMR) on a trial basis.
Under this pilot project, doctors will be allotted a unique identification number and they can apply for their license to work in any state.
“Registration of Medical Practitioners and Licence to Practice Medicine Regulations, 2023” gazette notification was issued by the government.
A masked ID will be granted to undergraduate students on the NMR and when they complete their course the ID will get unmasked and allotted.
The data of 14 lakh doctors will be transferred to the National Medical Register.
