Mumbai: Nearly four months after the April 26 elections, the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) has finally received its elected and nominated body. The state government, via a notification on August 14, appointed five nominated members and nine elected members for a five-year term. The IMA-backed panel, led by Dr Santosh Kadam, secured eight of the nine elected seats.
Dr Kadam expressed satisfaction, stating that the government's finalization of nominations enabled the council to be handed over to the newly elected members. This comes after The Free Press Journal reported on July 12 that the government had yet to nominate the five necessary members, keeping the MMC under the administration and hindering decisions related to doctors, patient complaints, and registration of newly qualified practitioners.
The 18-member council includes nine elected members, five government-nominated members, and four ex-officio members representing state health authorities.
