Health20266 sections

The Bihar Medical (Amendment) Act, 2026, modifies the Bihar and Orissa Medical Act, 1916, to streamline the process for medical practitioners from other states to practice in Bihar. It allows doctors registered with the National Medical Commission or any other State Medical Council to practice in Bihar without obtaining a fresh local registration or a No Objection Certificate. To qualify, practitioners must submit a self-certification to the Bihar Medical Council. The Act empowers the State Government to define the procedures for this submission and grants the Council authority to suspend the practice rights of any doctor found guilty of professional misconduct.
