I read the editorial "Ethics regulation by National Medical Commission: No reason for hope" by Amar Jesani with keen interest [1]. The article raises many pertinent issues which need urgent policy attention. Institutions and governance for regulating medical education and practice in India carry a significant colonial legacy of British rule [2]. No major reform was carried out to change the status till 2019. The recent reform in apex medical regulatory institutions, replacing the erstwhile Medical Council of India (MCI) with National Medical Commission (NMC), was a result of long-term demand. Several previous attempts to reform MCI had failed, despite recommendations by various committees, including the high level parliamentary standing committee [3].
我饶有兴趣地阅读了阿玛尔·杰萨尼撰写的社论《国家医学委员会的伦理监管：毫无希望可言》[1]。该文章提出了许多亟待政策关注的相关问题。印度用于规范医学教育和实践的机构与治理带有英国统治时期显著的殖民遗留影响[2]。直到2019年都没有进行重大改革来改变这种状况。近期对顶级医学监管机构的改革，用国家医学委员会（NMC）取代了先前的印度医学委员会（MCI），这是长期需求的结果。此前曾有过几次改革MCI的尝试，但都失败了，尽管包括高级别议会常务委员会在内的多个委员会都提出了建议[3]。
