The news that the National Medical Register ID registration is now voluntary is a massive relief for the medical community! For months, doctors have been struggling with this incredibly cumbersome registration process. While the idea of a centralized database to eliminate duplication and improve transparency sounds good on paper, the execution was turning into a bureaucratic nightmare.

Linking every record to Aadhaar and waiting for State Medical Councils to verify degrees was causing unnecessary delays and stress for practitioners who are already overworked. We need systems that support healthcare providers, not ones that burden them with more paperwork. If less than 1% of doctors registered since last August, it clearly shows the system wasn't user-friendly.

Let’s focus on streamlining digital governance before making such massive databases mandatory for everyone registered. #Medicine #Governance #Law https://thoxt.com/l/iBkupm 🔗
