Why AIIMS Doctors Are Demanding DMC Revival
Doctors at AIIMS and other Delhi hospitals are facing a serious problem – they cannot get their mandatory Delhi Medical Council (DMC) registration because the council is not functioning. Without this registration, doctors cannot legally practice in Delhi, face delays in salary payments, and encounter problems with appointment processing. This situation has created difficulties for many medical professionals, especially those who moved to Delhi specifically to work in the capital's healthcare facilities. The registration is not optional but a requirement for practicing medicine in Delhi, making this an urgent issue for the medical community.
AIIMS Resident Doctors Seek Government Intervention
The AIIMS Resident Doctors' Association has formally written to Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta requesting immediate action. They have proposed two solutions: either reactivate the Delhi Medical Council or create a provisional registration system that would allow doctors to practice while the council issues are being resolved. The RDA emphasized that doctors are essential to Delhi's healthcare system, particularly in government and tertiary care hospitals. They have urged both the Chief Minister and the health minister to address this administrative obstacle quickly, as it prevents qualified medical professionals from properly performing their duties in serving patients across the capital.
