NMC Warns Against Impersonator Claiming to be Chairman Dr BN Gangadhar

New Delhi: The National Medical Commission (NMC) warned the public against an impersonator allegedly engaging with others using a specific mobile number and claiming to be the chairperson of the Commission, Dr BN Gangadhar.

Issuing a warning to the public, the Establishment Section of the Apex Medical Commission has released a Public Notice in this regard. The Commission has advised the public not to get engaged in any conversation with the person using the concerned mobile number.

Addressing the issue of impersonator, NMC mentioned in the recent public notice, "It has come to our attention that an individual with the mobile number +919062719187 is impersonating as Dr. B. N. Gangadhar, Chairman of the National Medical Commission (NMC)."

The Commission clarified that "It is to be informed that this mobile number does not belong to Dr. B. N. Gangadhar, Chairman, NMC."

NMC has mentioned in the notice that it shall not take any responsibility if any individual gets involved in any such conversations. The notice mentioned in this regard, "The public is advised not to engage in any conversation with the person using the mobile number +919062719187, claiming to be Dr. B. N. Gangadhar. Any individual taking cognizance or acting on such conversations does so at their own risk."

"This notice is issued to safeguard the public from any misinformation and to prevent any unauthorized activities carried out by the impersonator," it further mentioned.

Time and again, the Commission issued warning to the public against fake notices being circulated under its name. Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that in December 2023, NMC clarified about a recent letter bearing the signature of the Under Secretary of NMC PG Board and claiming that CPS degrees are recognised for the students undergoing training.

Issuing a notice on December 14, 2023, the Apex Medical Commission mentioned the concerned notice to be fake and warned the doctors against the fake letter.
