10 medical colleges get NMC notice over stipend details
TIMES NEWS NETWORK 1.12.2024
Ahmedabad : The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued show-cause notices to 198 medical colleges nationwide for failing to submit mandatory stipend payment details for their resident doctors and interns. The notices, dated Nov 28, target 115 government and 83 private institutions. The colleges failed to provide information about stipends paid to undergraduate interns, postgraduate residents, and super-specialty resident doctors for 2023-24, as well as monthly records for 2024-25. This requirement stems from a 2022 Supreme Court directive mandating transparent disclosure of stipend payment.
Gujarat accounts for 10 of these colleges, including three govt medical colleges and two Gujarat Medical Education and Research Society (GMERS) establishments. The govt institutions include Porbandar Medical College and Godhra Medical College and the GMERS ones include Himmatnagar Medical College and Dharpur Medical College in Patan, which is un der NMC scrutiny following a student’s death in a ragging incident. Five private medical colleges also received notices. These institutions are required to upload stipend details on their websites and update the information monthly by the 5th. The colleges have been asked to submit their stipend payment records for 2023-24 to the NMC in three days
