NMC Orders 70 Medical Colleges to Comply with Mandatory CCTV Surveillance Rules
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has identified 70 medical colleges nationwide, including 11 in Maharashtra such as Mumbai's JJ Hospital, for failing to comply with mandatory CCTV surveillance regulations. These rules require installation of at least 25 cameras, 30-day footage retention, and real-time feed sharing via Network Video Recorders. Despite repeated reminders and technical support, many institutions remain non-compliant. The NMC has ordered immediate adherence to enhance transparency and monitor academic and clinical activities effectively.
