Observing that medical colleges should not be built for profit-making motives and must remain aligned with public interest, the Bombay High Court upheld previous Rule 6(g) of the 2023 Regulations framed by the National Medical Commission (NMC), which restricted the establishment of medical colleges only to Section 8 (not-for-profit) companies.However, even as the Court delivered its verdict recently, the apex regulatory commission had previously announced significant regulatory change. The NMC Chairperson had declared that the apex medical regulator removed the earlier restriction allowing only non-profit (Section 8) entities to set up medical colleges and allowed for-profit companies to set up medical colleges. This means that now both non-profit and for-profit companies can establish medical colleges, including under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model.For more details, check out the full story on the link below:
