NITI Aayog Proposes Interstate Licence Portability for Healthcare Professionals
NITI Aayog has proposed interstate licence portability for healthcare professionals to enable them to practise across states without repeated registrations or No Objection Certificates (NOCs). The proposal includes creating a national licence registry supported by Mutual Recognition Agreements among state councils to recognize each other's registrations. This system aims to improve professional mobility, especially to underserved areas, by addressing current administrative barriers like those in Maharashtra, where fresh applications and NOCs are required for out-of-state practitioners.
