Patna: Flaying the Centre`s move of scrapping of Medical Council of India and replacing it with a 14-member committee to regulate medical education in the country, the National Medicos Organisation on Sunday appealed to doctors to oppose the decision.

Medical practitioners should come together to unitedly oppose the Centre`s decision to scrap the MCI and replace it with a 14-member committee to regulate medical education in the country, NMO president Pawan Kumar Gupta told reporters. The formation of a small committee in place of the 140-member MCI to regulate medical education was not in public interest, he said. He said medicos affiliated with NMO should submit their objections by April 8 so that a memorandum could be prepared and handed over to the Centre to review its decision of scrapping the MCI.
