NAGPUR: The state government, on Monday, suspended the 10-member committee formed on May 27 to formulate guidelines for control and regulation of medical laboratories.
Neither a pathologist nor a member of Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) had been included in the panel.
TOI had raised the issue on May 29.
Maharashtra Association of Practicing Pathologists and Microbiologists (MAPPM), a state-level organization of pathologists, had also written to the additional chief secretary of state public health on this issue.
The state government issued a new resolution on Monday stating that the committee needs to have the representation of all stakeholders and it will be reconstituted later.
The government will form a fresh committee and issue a separate order on it.
MAPPM has welcomed this decision.
All the non-governmental members appointed in the committee were technicians and no one of them was a medical doctor or a pathologist.
