The National Medical Commission (NMC) has instructed all medical colleges across India to form sub-committees dedicated to monitoring prescription practices. This order aims to ensure doctors write clear and legible prescriptions. The move follows a Punjab and Haryana High Court order from August 27, which highlighted the importance of readable medical prescriptions as part of the Right to Health under Article 21 of the Constitution. In a communication dated December 15 to health officials and medical institution heads, the NMC emphasized that all medical colleges must include the importance of neat prescription writing in their curriculum. The court cited several laws mandating clear prescriptions, including the National Medical Commission Act, 2019, and the Indian Medical Council regulations. The NMC instructed each college to establish a sub-committee under the Drugs and Therapeutics Committee (DTC). This group will systematically review prescriptions, identify problems, and suggest improvements. They must record their findings in the DTC meeting minutes and share them with the NMC. The commission also reminded doctors to prescribe drugs using their generic names clearly and preferably in capital letters to ensure rational drug use. The NMC made compliance with these guidelines mandatory and urged all medical colleges to act immediately without delay.
