IMA Action Committee condemns the supersession of the Medical Council of India
New Delhi, 30 September. In an emergency session in Mumbai, the IMA Action Committee condemned the supersession of the Medical Council of India (MCI).
This action of the Government, at a juncture when the election to MCI has been announced, is unwarranted and malafide. The composition of the Board of Governors (BOG) itself is unacceptable. Directors of major National institutions would scarcely find time to administer more than 450 medical colleges and their UG and PG courses. Moreover, there is no representation to women and Registered Medical Practitioners.
President Elect CMAAO & President Heart Care Foundation of India, Padma Shri Awardee Dr KK Aggarwal said in a MED talk -
“The Indian Medical Association (IMA) is convinced that supersession of MCI is only a smoke screen and ploy to prepare the ground for NMC and sabotage the democratic process of MCI. Why the Government was in a hurry to scuttle a democratic process needs an answer.
IMA’s concerns remain. Bringing MCI directly under the government control seems to be the plan to implementation of Bridge Courses, crosspathy and registration of non medical persons.
IMA demands that the BOG should refrain from taking any major policy decisions or amendments changing the character of the IMC Act.
IMA also demands that the election process in progress in MCI should be allowed to continue.
IMA will continue its resistance to NMC Bill. Any intentions of the NMC Bill implemented through the appointed BOG will be fought with determination.
This is the fourth time that BOG is being appointed. All the previous attempts were an abject failure.
The eminent clinicians appointed have little exposure to the day-to-day administration of MCI.
The Government has not cited any reason for superseding MCI.
MCI Election process is on. It was inappropriate for the Government to supersede at this stage. This betrays a malafide intention.
BOG should conform to the basic tenets of IMC Act and refrain from tinkering with its fundamental structure.
Crosspathy, registration of non medical persons, bridge courses and mixing of syllabi are core concerns. The fidelity, identity and the privileges of the profession will be defended at any cost.
184 private medical colleges are awaiting recognition due to strict norms of the outgoing MCI team. IMA, media and the people should keep vigil in this regard.
IMA foresees a highly difficult period ahead when checks and balances have been removed.
A generation of substandard doctors will be the legacy of this action.
IMA will keep its tryst with destiny and redeem the profession from dark forces. Every single challenge thrown at the profession will be repulsed with single minded.”
