Colaba doctors suspended over guaranteed IVF success
Advertisement
Mumbai: A Colaba based doctor couple offering 100% success through IVF procedure have only found their license suspended by Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC). It is a false claim as noted by the council, blatantly made on the website by the clinic through the advertisement route.
The order by MMC suspends the registrations of Dr Aniruddha Malpani, Dr Anjali Malpani for three months.
MMC noted that the IVF clinic's website not only offered 100% pregnancy guarantee but also claimed a refund to patients in case it failed to do so; all through website advertisement.
Following this decision the clinics operations have been suspended for three months. The said doctor couple also cannot practice for these three months anywhere else.
The complaint on the concerned matter was filed by the advertising standard council of India in 2014 and it is only recently that the suspension order has been given by the MMC.
It is also reported to be the first such case of suspension of doctors by the council. Earlier the doctors were only issued warning letters.
