News<\/strong>– The National Medical Commission\u2019s new rules on registered medical practitioners have tackled doctors\u2019 irresponsible use of social media for the first time.<\/p>\n

What are the new rules by the National Medical Commission on registered medical practitioners?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On Twitter, doctors share detailed accounts of their patients’ conditions, treatments, and results<\/strong>. However, this practice has been prohibited. <\/strong><\/p>\n

NMC has introduced a requirement for ongoing “continuous professional development” <\/strong>throughout a doctor’s career.<\/p>\n

Conferences or workshops eligible for CPD cannot receive sponsorship from pharmaceutical companies. <\/strong><\/p>\n

New regulations reiterate that doctors must prescribe generic medicines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are issues with the implementation of these rules?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Indian government needs to confront the concerns related to generic medications <\/strong>available in the public market. In situations where a recommended generic drug is unavailable, the substitution is frequently proposed by the pharmacist.<\/p>\n

The Jan Aushadhi stores<\/strong> under the government’s supervision<\/strong> often have inadequate supplies. Therefore, the success of the regulations introduced will depend on the formulation of appropriate penalties.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pharmaceutical firms and diagnostic chains have nurtured a strong connection <\/strong>with hospitals and medical professionals.<\/p>\n

Historically, pharmaceutical companies have been instrumental in supporting the professional growth <\/strong>of doctors. As these companies withdraw their financial support<\/strong> for workshops, there are questions regarding fulfilment of this role by someone else.<\/p>\n

The success of overseeing medical engagements<\/strong> on Twitter by regulatory bodies is still something that needs to be witnessed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
