Introduction
The Gujarat Medical Council (GMC) is a statutory body established in April 1968 under the Gujarat Medical Council Act, 1967 to regulate the practice of modern scientific medicine in the State of Gujarat. It was formed to consolidate and oversee the registration and professional standards of allopathic medical practitioners across the state.
GMC ensures that medical practitioners meet the required qualifications, maintain professional conduct, and adhere to ethical standards as prescribed by law. All doctors practising in Gujarat must obtain registration from the Gujarat Medical Council to legally practise medicine within the state.
The council includes representatives nominated by the state government and members elected from the medical profession, working together to uphold medical standards and protect public health.
Key Functions of GMC
Registration & renewal of medical practitioners — including provisional and permanent registration for MBBS graduates.
Maintenance of the State Medical Register — an official list of registered doctors permitted to practise in Gujarat.
Regulation of professional conduct and medical ethics — ensuring doctors follow ethical standards in patient care.
Disciplinary actions — addressing complaints and misconduct by registered medical practitioners.
Compliance with national and state medical laws — aligning with guidelines from the National Medical Commission (NMC).

Note: GMC’s regulatory scope relates to allopathic practitioners in Gujarat. Other systems such as AYUSH, dental, and nursing are managed by their respective councils.
