Indraprasth aka New Delhi - The Government on Thursday
approved the reconstitution of Medical Council of India
(MCI) with former Director General Health Services RK
Srivastava replacing KK Talwar as Chairman of the
Council's Board of Governors.

The tenure of the BoG headed by Talwar was mired in
controversies beginning with the exit of former MCI
Secretary Sangeeta Sharma who had alleged that the
former's behaviour was "insulting" and "humiliating".�

"The formal notification in respect of the MCI
reconstitution would be issued tomorrow by the Health
Ministry," said sources in the Health Ministry.

The new seven-member board to run the apex medical
regulator, approved by Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad,
will have a term of six months within which MCI elections
is to be held and the original democratic structure of
the Council restored. The Government has already moved a
new bill in this regard which is yet to be passed in
Parliament.
