A council meeting on May 12 decided to temporarily retain the doctors' names in the registration book. The council plans to call on non-resident Nepali doctors globally to update their registration status.

  • The council had previously decided to cancel the registrations of 19 doctors who had renounced Nepali citizenship and obtained foreign passports.
  • The decision to revoke licenses was made in two phases, citing provisions under the Nepal Medical Council Act and Nepal Citizenship Act.
  • The suspension of the decision aims to address strong opposition and criticism against the move.
  • Acting registrar Dr. Dipendra Pandey stated the council will now request non-resident Nepali doctors worldwide to renew or update their registration.
