Medical Council of India should be cleansed, purged but not decimated

Its an eerie feeling to realize that Medical Council of India no longer exists. Its like in being a war and the headquarter is bombed and razed with all the high command gone! This bit is sinking in now that there are certain bodies in the country, which cannot be disbanded! One cannot disband the police commissioners office nor the one can imagine a country without a parliament. Incumbents come and go; removed or expelled. But the organizations remain. This is a piquant situation and a gory reminder of the fact, that not only the leader was corrupt, but the whole organization was. If not, then why has it been disbanded? What is the status of clerks and permanent staff?

The implications of this will be felt for years to come. Purging was required and a correct decision has been taken to let the entire administration go. The sanctity of the Medical Council has to be restored, rather than doing away with the organization. Same 6 member council can look into each and every affair of MCI and get people transferred. new staff can be appointed.

This is a body which is recognized by medical councils of all countries of the world to communicate with regarding issues about doctors who relocate overseas. At this present juncture there is no medical body in India to communicate with! Time to tell the world that new administrators have taken over MCI and order is being restored.

I would love to have views on this topic.
