Nagaland Medical Council (NMC) has published the lists of all registered allopathic medical practitioners serving in government institutions and those practicing in private hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics registered under the Nagaland Health Care Establishment Authority.
In a press release, NMC Registrar Dr. Kevilhulie Meyase, informed that the lists would be made available district-wise in due course for greater public awareness and transparency.
NMC, however, stated that place of posting of some government doctors may change due to transfers.
The council has directed all registered practitioners to display only those qualifications that are recognised by the National Medical Commission (NMC) / Medical Council of India (MCI) and duly registered with the State Medical Council.
NMA has also directed the proprietors of private hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics to employ only registered medical practitioners. The council cautioned that advertising any specialty or additional qualifications not recognised by NMC/MCI would be treated as professional misconduct, liable for disciplinary action. Further, NMC directed organisations and hospitals inviting allopathic doctors from outside the state for consultations or medical camps to get their credentials verified by the Nagaland Medical Council in advance.
NMC has informed that till date a total of 1,553 medical practitioners were registered with the Nagaland Medical Council, out of which 668 were specialists in different disciplines.
Meanwhile, the council reminded all practising allopathic doctors that registration must be renewed every five years as mandated under the National Medical Commission Act 2019 and the Nagaland Medical Council Act 2014. It reiterated that only registered practitioners were authorised to practise modern medicine in the state.
