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.

This practice not only leads to incorrect diagnoses but also necessitates re-testing.
