Patients are now going to have a stronger hand against careless doctors in the country. In a major decision, the National Commission has provided patients the facility to lodge complaints against doctors. Now patients, if they are found to be victims of negligence in treatment by any doctor, will be able to directly lodge their complaint with the Commission.
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has taken an important decision, under which now patients will be able to complain about the negligence or misconduct of doctors. If the patient is not satisfied with the decision of the State Medical Councils (SMC), then he can also file an appeal in the Ethics and Medical Registration Board (EMRB) of NMC.
Patients will get the facility to complain
Earlier, patients could complain only to the State Medical Councils (SMC), but now if patients are dissatisfied with the decision of the State Medical Councils, they can also appeal to the National Medical Commission. This decision will strengthen the rights of patients and force doctors to work more responsibly.
Negligence of doctors will be stopped
Dr. Srinivas said that this decision will increase transparency and accountability in the medical profession. Now doctors will not be able to be negligent with any patient, because action can be taken against them at the national level as well. This decision is a sigh of relief for those lakhs of patients of the country, who often fall prey to the negligence of doctors. Now they will not need to wander here and there for justice.
