Under which Act has the draft framework for provisional registration of allied and healthcare professionals been framed?
- A.The National Medical Commission Act, 2019
- B.The Clinical Establishments Act, 2010
- C.The National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions Act, 2021
- D.The Indian Nursing Council Act, 1947
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions Act, 2021. The draft regulations on provisional registration have been framed by the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions under that parent law, and the commission itself functions under the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Option A names the statute that governs the National Medical Commission, a different regulator altogether, and nothing in this proposal is traced to it. Option B names a law on clinical establishments, that is on hospitals and facilities rather than on the registration of individual allied practitioners, so it is not the source of this framework. Option D names the statute of a nursing body, which again regulates a separate category of professionals and is not cited here. Only the allied and healthcare professions law of 2021 is the stated authority for this draft, and the draft regulations themselves carry the year 2026 while the parent Act carries its own earlier year. Candidates should keep the two years apart.
