MUMBAI: In an important move that has added new doctors to the healthcare system, the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) issued 527 registrations, including 330 provisional registrations and 197 permanent registrations, on October 12 and 13.
“However, following successful intervention by MARD, the chief minister’s office relaxed the mandatory requirement of a registration certificate, subject to the condition that they produce it before their results. Now that the functioning of the board has been streamlined, these doctors will get their registrations, which will ensure that they receive their marksheets.” the delay particularly impacted 66 resident doctors who were seeking to appear for the entrance exam of the MD-MS course on September 25 Although 350 registrations of resident doctors were in limbo.
“Things came to such a pass that these doctors almost lost an academic year,” said Dr Atharva Shinde, president of Central MARD.
