NMC also stated that it had gotten 11 comments on additional terms, which were included in the final statement. According to The Hindu, the Union Health Ministry has now referred Dr. Babu’s representation requests and RTI to the NMC for “required action.” In reality, the Ministry of Health requested that NMC give information to Dr. Babu directly.
