IMA extended its support to the Medical Council of India’s Digital Mission Mode Project (DMMP). New Delhi, August 20, 2016: “The DMMP is a commendable initiative by the MCI aimed at creating a digital network facilitating data exchange across all medical colleges in the country and converting the Indian Medical Register in the digital mode. The project is in line with the Honorable Prime Minister’s Digital India initiative and is a much-needed development in helping make the Indian Medical Education system more transparent and effective. We at IMA welcome the initiative and will support the MCI in its implementation in any way we can,” said Dr SS Agarwal – National President IMA & Padma Shri Awardee Dr KK Aggarwal – Honorary Secretary General IMA. The DMMP solution shall enable online submission of applications for opening of new medical colleges or seat enhancement; creating a national data base of faculty in medical colleges which shall be linked with their Aadhar Card and have bio-metric verification. Every faculty will be issued a RFID enabled identity card and the attendance, salary and work status of the faculty shall be submitted to the MCI on a real time basis by all medical colleges, besides other data and information required for regulatory compliance. The applicant medical college can also track the application processing status through this online application. The existing records of MCI shall be completely digitalized and the Indian Medical Register shall be made a live Register. The above referred solution shall be backed by a Robust Call Centre Support and “Samadhan” the Grievance Management System of MCI. According to a statement issued by Prof. Jayshree Mehta, President, Medical Council of India, the long standing demand of the medical profession, civil society and Govt. of India about having a real time medical register shall be accomplished through this project in the next 6 months. The status of medical practitioners of the country shall be updated and the same could be tracked electronically, their current status especially about their Good Standing or any proceedings under the ethics regulations shall be available for view by general public in the online DMMP application at all times.
