One more victory for Medical fraternity !
MCI has taken decision to make an amendment to clause 6.8 in its executive meet conducted on 18th. feb-2014 as follows:
The executive committee of MCI, decided as under:
1. Regulation on Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and
Ethics) Regulations,2002 under clause 6.8 i.e.“Code of conduct for doctors
and professional association of doctors in their relationship with pharmaceutical and allied health sector industry.” the term “Association of Doctors” be deleted. Regulation may be accordingly amended.
Previously,The MCI had filed an affidavit in a case Vs Max hospitals.
MCI filed an affidavit against the the writ petition filed by MaxHospital before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court.
In the MCI affidavit, it had been, inter alia,submitted as under:-
“………..(iii) That the jurisdiction of MCI is limited only to take action against the registered medical professionals under the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002 (hereinafter the 'Ethics Regulations') and has no jurisdiction to pass any order affecting rights/interests of any Hospital, association / society.
So, now its clear, IMA doesn't come under the ambit of MCI (Endorsment of food products case), as the ambit of statutory provisions of IMC ethics clause, is restricted only to persons registered as medical practitioners with the State Medical Council and whose names are entered into the Indian Medical Register maintained u/s 21 of the Act.
