Telangana Medical Council shuts down 12 Illegal Clinics
The Telangana Medical Council (TGMC) on Tuesday conducted surprise inspections at several unauthorised medical centres in Shabad, a town on the outskirts of Hyderabad. The council identified 12 illegally operated establishments, all run by quacks without recognised medical qualifications.
The TGMC team, led by Chairman Dr. K. Mahesh Kumar and Vice-Chairman Dr. G. Srinivas, found that most of these clinics were small, single-room setups operating without valid licenses or qualified personnel.
“We will be filing cases against six individuals at the local police stations as per NMC 34, 54 Act and TSMPR Act 22, BNS Sections 318 and 319,” Dr Srinivas said, reports Telangana Today.
The TGMC has warned of serious health risks associated with receiving treatment from individuals without valid medical certification, including potentially fatal consequences from the unregulated use of steroids and antibiotics.
