NCAHP Proposes Provisional Registration Framework for Allied Health Professionals
The National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP) has proposed draft regulations for provisional registration of allied health professionals in India. The framework offers a transition pathway for approximately 900,000 uncertified workers, including lab technicians and radiographers, to formalize credentials through bridge courses, supervised training, and examinations. Provisional registration will be valid for three years with possible extension, enabling professionals to meet requirements for permanent registration under the 2021 NCAHP Act. Public feedback on the draft is invited.
