HC Stays Santiniketan Medical College PG Course Over ‘Fake Patient’ During Inspection
Noting that a fake patient was kept at Santiniketan Medical College and Hospital without any proper case history to show higher patient numbers for recognition from the National Medical Commission (NMC) to start postgraduate courses, the Calcutta High Court ordered a stay on the commencement of the PG courses and compared the situation to a 'Munna Bhai MBBS scenario.'
While hearing the plea, Single Bench Judge Justice Ritabrata Kumar Mitra directed the National Medical Commission (NMC) to send a delegation to inspect the matter within three days after being informed that the irregularity was detected during an inspection at the hospital in Bolpur.
