"If this unlawful practice is not stopped immediately, it will lead to widespread health disasters. Patients risk suffering severe complications, permanent disabilities, or even death due to misdiagnosis, improper treatments, and the misuse of medications. Allowing this dangerous trend to persist could overwhelm healthcare facilities with preventable emergencies and jeopardise public trust in the medical system," reads the letter as reported by TOI.
