What is the primary objective of the "one nation, one registration platform" introduced by the National Medical Commission (NMC) for doctors in India? 

Solution

The National Medical Commission (NMC), the regulatory body for medical education and medical professionals, is all set to launch its “one nation, one registration platform” for doctors across the country to eliminate duplication and red tape and allow the public to access information on any physician working in India. The NMC will unveil a patch pilot of the National Medical Register (NMR) in the next six months where doctors will be allotted a unique identification number and then can also apply for their licence to work in any State depending on where they are. The commission had earlier this year issued a Gazette notification titled “Registration of medical practitioners and licence to practise medicine regulations, 2023” announcing the move. The idea is to provide an ID to undergraduate students on the NMR. About NMC Founded: 25 September 2020             Chairperson: Dr. Suresh Chandra Sharma          Headquarters: New Delhi
