The Ministry has introduced the National Commission for Human
Resources for Health (NCHRH) Bill in the RajyaSabha for setting up of
NCHRH which inter-alia envisages updation of professional knowledge and
skill of medical professionals by making it mandatory for them to attend
seminars, conferences, workshops or any other programme of minimum
standard for re-registration in a periodic manner. However, as per
information provided by Medical Council of India, periodical
re-registration is already being done by the State Medical Councils of
Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Kerala, Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan, Sikkim
and Uttarakhand have provisions for periodical re-registration of
medical practitioners.
Health being a State subject, such information is not maintained
centrally. However, in order to curb such practice, the Central
Government has made the penal provisions and punishments in the
Transplantation of Human Organs (Amendment) Act, 2011 more stringent.
As regards unethical clinical trials, the MCI has informed that
complaint received by the Council regarding such trials is under
process, awaiting the final investigation report from the Central Drugs
Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO).
