NMC reel script checker
Doctor or healthcare creator? Paste your reel, Short or post script (English, Hindi or Hinglish). The checker flags phrases that may conflict with the National Medical Commission's new guidelines on ethical advertising and public communication, and tells you which clause, why, and how to say it more safely.
Informational aid, not legal advice or an NMC certification. It matches 26 text patterns against clauses of NMC's guidelines of 6 October 2026 (No. R-13014/01/2024-Ethics). It can miss problems and can flag lines that are fine in context. Your State Medical Council decides on violations. Your script never leaves your device: the check runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded or saved.
