FAQs
What is the National Convention on Medicine & Law (NCML) ?
NCML is the flagship initiative of the Institute of Medicine & Law. This annual event brings together doctors, hospitals, lawyers, and policymakers to identify and address contentious legal issues in healthcare, and to deliberate on and propose actionable solutions and policy reforms to regulators and law-making bodies. Academicians, Members of Parliament, patients’ rights representatives, and journalists also participate in the deliberations.
What are the primary objectives of the Convention ?
- Identify emerging legal issues and gaps in current healthcare laws and regulations
- Facilitate in-depth deliberations with policymakers and leading legal and medical experts
- Formulate recommendations and legislative / regulatory frameworks
- Work actively with policymakers, media, Members of Parliament, and others to implement these solutions and drive healthcare reforms
Who should attend the Convention ?
- Doctors, consultants, and healthcare practitioners
- Hospital CEOs, owners, and healthcare administrators
- Lawyers, judges, and legal professionals specializing in healthcare law
- Office-bearers / representatives of legal / medical associations and professional bodies
- Members of legislative, regulatory, and policy-making bodies
- Patient advocacy groups and medical ethics boards
What is the format of the event ?
The event is highly interactive and includes plenary, joint, and breakout sessions, expert panel discussions, and open Q&A forums. The Convention facilitates dialogue among speakers and dignitaries and enables delegates to engage directly with thought leaders.
When and where is the event held ?
The event is preferably held as a full-day programme on a Sunday in September in Mumbai.
How are the topics for the Convention identified ?
A defining feature of this Convention is its year-round engagement with all stakeholders, including the general public. Their views, concerns, and experiences help finalise the agenda and shape the deliberations.
What makes NCML different from other medical or legal conferences ?

- The recommendations are drafted as formal White Papers and Reports and submitted to bodies such as the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the National Medical Commission, and other legislative authorities to drive reforms
