The Maharashtra Nursing Council (MNC) has temporarily withheld permissions to conduct Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) sessions across the state until the submission of an ongoing enquiry report regarding irregularities and authenticity issues in certain CNE sessions reportedly held at government hospitals.

“We initiated an enquiry after receiving multiple complaints about unauthorised or bogus CNE sessions being organised without proper approval, and about nurses being charged money in exchange for certificates,” said Dr Ramling B Mali, president of the Maharashtra Nursing Council.
