The National Medical Commission (NMC) has recently come under scrutiny for overruling the decisions made by the Supreme Court and its own previous rulings. In a recent case in February 2023, the Ethics and Medical Registration Board rejected a patient’s appeal, despite the NMC’s commitment to reviewing such appeals since September 2022. What has raised eyebrows is the fact that the EMRB is currently vacant, leading to questions about the legitimacy of the decision-making process. It has been noted that the rejection of the appeal closely mirrors a denial made in 2022, prompting concerns about the transparency and fairness of the board’s actions. This incident has once again brought to light the challenges faced by patients in navigating the medical regulatory system in India.
