The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued a notification on the implementation of NIC Aadhaar Enabled Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS), Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) and connection of CCTVs feed to Command & Control Centre at National Medical Commission across all medical colleges in India. This notification was issued on 25th January, 2023.
The NMC has observed that despite various reminders and requests, many medical colleges are yet to fully implement these IT initiatives.
NMC in its previous communications has already advised the Medical Colleges that for consideration of any applications for renewals, recognition, CoR (Continuation of Recognition), surprise inspections, increase in UG/PG seats, approval of PG courses, college applying for new establishments, the data of AEBAS, HMIS and CCTV integration with NMC will be used for decision making.
Moreover, the Minister of Health and Family Welfare has, on various occasions, conveyed that it is mandatory for all medical colleges to implement these IT initiatives expeditiously.
AII colleges are therefore, again directed to take necessary steps to fully implement Aadhaar Enabled Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS), Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) and connection of CCTVs feed to Command & Control Centre at National Medical Commission immediately in order to prevent adverse actions against them.
