· The Medical Council of India (MCI) recently asked the hospital to stop offering all Post Graduate Courses, the main reason being the age of its teaching faculty. The MCI has derecognized all Post Graduate Degree Courses taught at Bombay Hospital Institute of Medical Science, Marine Lines, for the first time and has asked the institute not to conduct any admissions in 2009-2010.
· The Bombay Hospital might have the best pool of doctors in the country but the MCI thinks they are too old to teach.
· The MCI has also objected that none of the heads of departments have recognized degrees.
· The MCI’s contention is that most heads of departments at the Bombay Hospital are above 65 years of age. Another reason stated for the derecognition is lack of “infrastructure and facilities”
· MCI has turned down the Bombay Hospital attempts for recognition on some grounds or the other. The courses were being conducted only with the state’s approval.
