Association of Medical Consultants, Mumbai (AMC)
AMC Mumbai was established in 1972 by a small group of energetic active and concerned medical consultants from distant suburbs who often assembled and animatedly discussed their common problems. Over the years, the immense need rose for an organisation of this nature and the Association grew rapidly. It is now one of the fastest growing Associations of Specialist Doctors in Mumbai and boasts of membership strength of 7515 Medical consultants.
AMC represents Consultants practicing at corporate and non corporate Tertiary care referral Hospitals (both Government and Private) and individual Consultants practicing through their own consulting rooms, Clinics & Nursing Homes spread across Greater Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane districts. It also boasts of 5 affiliate units in Maharashtra & Karnataka. It is recognized as a frontline Medical Organization and is an important opinion making body which addresses vital public health and professional issues facing the medical profession in general and medical consultants in particular.
AMC has effectively brought together consultants of various disciplines on one platform and aims to highlight and offer solutions to all the important day to day problems faced by consultants. For a practicing consultant, enrolling as our member has become equivalent to registration with the MMC. However it is not only the Doctor’s issue which are highlighted by AMC but also other issues related to public health such as environmental issues, organ and blood donations. First aid workshops and medical camps & public awareness lectures are also conducted by AMC from time to time. The name of Association of Medical Consultants & its Logo are also patended. It is registered under Public Charitable Trust.
AMC has proactively launched a accreditation programme with FEQH and the Mumbai Chapter of QCI to propogate the idea of quality and safe standards towards patients care & health care establishments belonging to its members are certified after auditing them for the prescribed standards. This activity not only ensures adoption of quality standards by its members but also promotes safety measures for patients and therefore goes a long way in providing quality healthcare to patients.
