Maha: Persistent issue of ghost pathologists signing off pathology reports, MAPPM urges Medical Council to intervene

Taking cognizance of the growing number of pathology laboratories, particularly in rural Maharashtra, and the persistent issue of ghost pathologists signing off pathology reports, the Maharashtra Association of Practising Pathologists and Microbiologists (MAPPM) has urged the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) to intervene and implement measures to curb such practices.
Ghost pathologists, individuals who are absent during tests, have become a significant concern, as all tests should be overseen by registered medical practitioners holding a post-graduate qualification in pathology. This practice not only leads to incorrect diagnoses but also necessitates re-testing.
