Healthcare
Event Summary

The India — Delhi High Court directed the India — India to decide within two months on a representation by the Indian Professional Nurses Association (IPNA) regarding the delayed constitution of the United Kingdom — Nursing and Midwifery Council (NNMC). The NNMC Act, 2023, which was enacted to replace the India — Indian Nursing Council, came into force in early 2024, and applications for members were invited in March 2024, but the Commission has not been constituted. The court treated the writ petition as a representation and granted IPNA liberty to approach again if aggrieved. The delay has raised concerns about nursing education standards and regulatory oversight.
