This Legislation seeks to regulate and standardize the education and practice of allied and healthcare professions. The paramedics and allied healthcare workers are critical part of the healthcare ecosystem and their contribution is similar to doctors and nurses. The group of allied professionals is large (comprising of 56 healthcare professions) but fragmented. They play crucial role in delivering comprehensive holistic healthcare. This new law is trying to regulate this field by providing dignity to their roles. This legislation is aimed at fulfilling long-pending demands of the sector, and enhance employment opportunities for allied and healthcare professions.
Definition of ‘allied health professional’: An associate, technician, or technologist trained to support the diagnosis and treatment of any illness, disease, injury, or impairment. Such a professional should have obtained a diploma or degree, which has regular mode of education covering at least 2000 hrs spread over 2 to 3 years period.
Definition of a ‘healthcare professional’: A scientist, therapist, or any other professional who studies, advises, research, supervises, or provides preventive, curative, rehabilitative, therapeutic, or promotional health services. Such a professional should have obtained a degree , which has regular mode of education covering 3600 hrs spread over 3 to 6 years.
Allied and healthcare professions as recognised categories: Life science professionals, trauma and burn care professionals, surgical and anaesthesia related technology professionals, physiotherapists, and nutrition science professionals.
1. The Legislation sets up the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions - Advisory and monitory role
It will frame policies and standards for regulating education and practice, create and maintain an online Central Register of all registered professionals, and providing for a uniform entrance and exit examination, among others.
2. Professional Council (each for category)
The Commission will constitute a Professional Council for every recognised category of allied and healthcare professions. At present ten council will be planned to monitor, regulate and advice on ten categories of professionals.
3. State Allied and Healthcare Councils - Implementing Agencies
Within six months from the passage of the legislation, state governments will constitute State Allied and Healthcare Councils. These State councils are the main implementing, monitoring and registration agencies. If the State does not takes proactive steps nothing will move forward.
4. Boards
The State Council shall, by notification, constitute the following Autonomous Boards for regulating the allied and healthcare professionals, namely,
(a) Under-graduate Allied and Healthcare Education Board,
(b) Post-graduate Allied and Healthcare Education Board,
(c) Allied and Healthcare Professions Assessment and Rating Board, and
(d) Allied and Healthcare Professions Ethics and Registration Board
All standards have been coded by international yardsticks and there will be representations from all states and union territories on this commission with each state having state-level commissions. This will help in enhancing their standard and skills.
This legislation is expected to benefit an estimated approximately 9 lakhs allied and healthcare-related professionals and thousands of other professionals joining the workforce annually, according to the government. The paramedics and allied healthcare workers lab technicians, radiographers, dieticians played a critical role during the covid-19 pandemic and recovery of patients. They need to be recognized, regulated and provide platform for representation at the national and international level.

As per the legislation Sec 2 (e) "allied and healthcare qualification" means a recognised diploma or degree possessed by an allied and healthcare professional through regular learning mode under this Act or any additional recognised course obtained thereafter
Further, Sec 2 (j) "healthcare professional" includes a scientist, therapist or other professional who studies, advises, researches, supervises or provides preventive, curative, rehabilitative, therapeutic or promotional health services and who has obtained any qualification of degree under this Act, the duration of which shall not be less than three thousand six hundred hours spread over a period of three years to six years divided into specific semesters
If the IGNOU courses meets any one of the above requirements then they will be recognized under the legislation.
@@SureshBadaMath yes sir I have read that . My question is then why ignou and other university are still taking admission? Why are we pursuing the courses if we can't practice
Sorry, I don’t have answer for your valid question
Good After Noon Sir ,
Distance Education Studied Persons Can Register Or Not ....
I am an IGNOU Student Of Psychology
Need to wait for the rules to be notified. However, legislation says regular course. This needs to be interpreted by the judiciary.
@@SureshBadaMath Thank U Sir ...
Please Update Through TH-cam ,Sir..
No you can't
As per the legislation Sec 2 (e) "allied and healthcare qualification" means a recognised diploma or degree possessed by an allied and healthcare professional through regular learning mode under this Act or any additional recognised course obtained thereafter;
Now one need to interpret ‘regular learning mode’.
@@SureshBadaMath then Why did Government allow psychology courses through distance learning mode ?
What about Blood bank technician
It is coded under Medical Laboratory Sciences Professionals - Hemato Technologists ISCO 3212
When can we register 2021&2022??any chance for pending?
Once rules are notified, councils for each category of professions are established, these councils will establish the educational qualifications and respective State needs to notify this law. Law will be implemented at each State level.
Finally, it will depend upon each State
I studied in UP.
BSc Radiology .
But my state refuses to give registration bcz I did my degree from other state.
What should I do?
Sir when it will start Registeration process
Central Rules needs to be formed. Each State rules needs to be drafted and notified. Later, council and boards needs to be formed and registration will start at each State level.
Finally, it depends upon the proactive approach of State government to start the process.
