The Telangana Medical Council uncovered four fake doctors, one unlicensed hospital, and an unregistered practitioner during inspections in Siddipet. Cases will be filed under multiple laws, and an ethics session was held. Citizens can report similar violations via phone or online
The State Public Health Wing, particularly the District Health and Medical Officers (DM&HO), holds special authority under the Clinical Establishment Act to take action against unqualified medical practitioners. However, estimates from the Telangana State Medical Council suggest that between 50,000 and 53,000 individuals are practicing allopathy without an MBBS degree. In Hyderabad alone, there may be over 10,000 such unqualified practitioners illegally practicing allopathy.
