CCI clears hospital in false advertising, misrepresentation case
Advertisement
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has dismissed a complaint filed against Victor Hospital, Margao, Goa, regarding allegations of misleading consumers by employing an unregistered surgeon and engaging in anti-competitive practices.
Presiding over the case, Ravneet Kaur, Chairperson; Sweta Kakkad, Member; Deepak Anurag, Member clarified that the allegations against Victor Hospital did not raise concerns under competition law. The commission stated that misleading consumers by misrepresenting a surgeon’s qualifications and engaging in false advertising, while serious, do not amount to anti-competitive behaviour under the Competition Act, 2002. It was noted that such issues should be dealt with by medical regulatory bodies rather than the CCI.
