NEW DELHI: India's "invisible doctors" are giving the Medical Council of India (MCI) a major headache.
According to MCI's Indian Medical Register that was last updated in April 2011, the nation supposedly boasts of 840,678 registered medical practitioners.
The data includes names of doctors who were registered way back in 1933. Chances of these doctors being alive is dim, admits MCI.
Till date, neither the Union health ministry nor MCI has strictly pushed for re-registration of doctors, thanks to which, India isn't sure about how many doctors it actually has.
MCI will ask the ministry to make it mandatory for all doctors to re-register with the country's 24 state medical boards, and MCI every five years.Complete Article
