A fake doctor named P. Srinivas was caught conducting illegal sex determination tests and abortions at Sai Balaji Hospital in Tungaturthi, Suryapet district. The Telangana State Medical Council (TGMC) launched an investigation after a pregnant woman died following a failed abortion.
The optometric technician, D Satish, endangered the lives of patients by posing as a qualified doctor and performing medical service, according to a press release
To operate a medical shop, it is mandatory to have a pharmacist and a license issued to them by TS Drug Control Administration (TSDCA) and the Pharmacy Council. However, without these permissions, fake doctors are operating medical shops, which are invariably attached to their clinics.
Out of the 12 quacks booked, four were from Vanasthalipuram, two from Dundigal, two from Bachupally, three from Sangareddy and one from Banswada in Kamareddy district
These fake doctors were found to be operating clinics under the names of RMP/PMP and administering unscientific and unnecessary antibiotics and steroid medications to unsuspecting patients
In the notice, the Medical Council charged the hospital of association with Sushritha Grameena Vaidyla Sangam, Nalgonda, and inviting public to participate in a meet on December 25
In Hyderabad, at multiple locations, the special teams of the Council raided the premises of clinics being run by nearly 20 individuals with no MBBS qualification
