MMC Alert ...

 

By Dr Arshad Gulam Mohamad

Chairman, MMC Cell

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Be Careful …….

 

  • You are doing a mistake if you have NOT renewed your registration at Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC). Renewals were done two years ago. If your name does not figure on the latest MMC register, your practice will be considered illegal.
  • It’s an error on your part if you have NOT registered your additional post graduate qualification/s. It’s safe to do so to pre-empt accusations in courts of law.
  • You are at fault if you are NOT registered with the Medical Council in Maharashtra (MMC). You may be registered with other state councils, but it’s mandatory to register at MMC in order to practice in Maharashtra.
  • It’s important to obtain and preserve your MMC Photo ID card. If you have not received it yet / or have misplaced it, please do not waste time in making a new one.

 

Here’s your chance to correct your mistake/s. Do approach the MMC office immediately and set right your lapse.

Anand Complex,

Second Floor,

189 A, Sane Guruji Marg,

Arthur Road Naka,

Mumbai – 400 011

State of Limbo in State Medical Council ...

 

MMC elections were held on April 26, 2009. The results were declared on May 03. More than three months have elapsed since then, yet, it seems, we are nowhere close to constituting the council. The names of the nominated members are not declared yet. No one seems to be in a hurry to complete the required procedures and get MMC working.

 

MMC, therefore, is still being run by the administrator. And no one seems to know when this adhocism will end! Come to think of it, it’s now almost a decade since the one-man administration is in place. A democratically held elation process is now over, yet the elected representatives are not in control.

 

So much for the democracy and its functioning!

 

Writ Petition Filed in Mumbai High Court ...

 

Dr Jaikrishin Gagandas Lalmalani has filed a writ petition in Mumbai High Court on June 30, 2009. The petitioner has made the following respondents in the case:

·         The State of Maharashtra

·         The Maharashtra Medical Council

·         Indian Medical Association

·         The Association of Medical Consultants

·         Maharashtra Gazetted Medical Officers Association

His plea is that the recently held MMC elections were not free and fair; and thus should be set aside. The petitioner had made similar allegations before the State of Maharashtra. To which the State had replied that it did not find any truth in his allegations.

 

In fact, the State has already notified the results of the MMC elections in its gazette, thereby completing the election process.

 

The petition is still in pre-admission stage and will come up for hearing on August 11, 2009.
