Recently, the National Medical Commission
(NMC), the regulatory body for medical education and medical professionals, is
all set to launch its “one nation, one registration platform’ ‘for doctors across the country to eliminate
duplication, red tape and allow the public to access information on any
physician working in India.
About
One Nation One Registration:
●
Unique
Identification Number: Doctors will be assigned a unique
identification number in the National Medical Register (NMR). This number will
serve as an identifier throughout their medical career.
●
Masked
ID for Students: Undergraduate students will receive a
masked ID in the NMR. This ID will be unmasked upon completion of their medical
education.
●
Centralized
Database: The NMR will serve as a centralized database
containing comprehensive information about medical practitioners, including
their qualifications, date of registration, place of work (hospital/institute
name), speciality, year of passing, university, and the institute/university
where the qualification was obtained.
●
Accessibility:
The information in the NMR will be accessible to the general public, providing
transparency about medical practitioners' credentials and qualifications.
