The National Medical Commission (NMC) has now proposed significant draft amendments to its 2023 regulations, focusing on easing the norms for establishment of medical colleges — allowing in more trusts and societies. It is also looking at tightening postgraduate medical education standards, and introducing a single-State licence for Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS) doctors to practice nationwide.
The Commission, in its latest notice, has invited comments until May 7, on its proposed amendments to the “Registration of Medical Practitioners and Licence to Practice Medicine (Amendment), Regulations 2026”.

“The draft regulations aim to tighten regulatory control over the quality of education while streamlining the processes for setting up institutions and regulating military medical personnel,” said a senior Health Ministry official.
