The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued an official call for applications to empanel 17 standing counsels.

The move is aimed at strengthening the Commission's in-house legal expertise to handle complex institutional and medical law matters.

The Commission seeks legal professionals who can navigate the specific nuances of healthcare regulation and administrative law.
Once empaneled, these counsels will be responsible for drafting legal documents, conducting comprehensive legal research, and providing regular updates on the progress of ongoing cases. The role requires a deep understanding of both statutory requirements and judicial precedents relevant to the medical sector.
