Doctors expressed their approval of the recent decision made by the National Medical Commission (NMC) to stall its directive mandating doctors to prescribe generic medicines to patients.
The NMC’s Registered Medical Practitioner (Professional Conduct) gazette notification, issued on August 2, has been put on hold with immediate effect as of August 21. This move has been met with widespread support from the medical fraternity, which had concerns that the proposed regulations would shift the balance of power from physicians to pharmacists.
The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has reaffirmed its commitment to upholding the dignity of the medical profession and vowed to continue working towards providing accessible and cost-effective healthcare for citizens.
