NMC junked negligence complaints without seeking legal opinion: RTIs
The New Indian Express Kozhikode
|August 16, 2025
THE failure to seek a legal opinion to understand the rules of appeal has led to the National Medical Commission (NMC) rejecting patients' complaints of medical negligence and misconduct against doctors.
If the NMC, that regulates medical education, medical professionals, institutes, and research, had sought legal opinion, as many as 162 patients' complaints against doctors about medical negligence would not have been rejected.
The NMC had internally discussed the patients' right to appeal against erring doctors on three occasions, but always allowed doctors' appeals to be heard and rejected patients' appeals.
