To eliminate quackery in the state, the Telangana Medical Council has come up with a quick and effective way to identify fake doctors by simply asking them to write a prescription.
Instead of spending weeks checking forged certificates, TGMC’s anti-quackery team now simply sends decoys to suspected practitioners, asking for a prescription on the spot. After that, they check for possible errors in the prescription.
In this way, the council has exposed hundreds of quacks who fail to write even a basic prescription correctly. In most cases, the prescriptions were vague, incomplete, or illegible.
