Fake Doctor
Hyderabad: In a recent crackdown on quackery in the state, the Telangana Medical Council (TSMC) recently conducted surprise inspections at several unauthorised clinics running without valid medical licenses in Addagutta, Secunderabad, and Jawahar Nagar areas of Hyderabad.
The inspections revealed that quacks without valid medical qualifications had been running first aid centres and clinics, providing allopathic treatment to several patients and dispensing allopathic medicines illegally, putting the patients' health at serious risk.
Not only that, but these unqualified practitioners kept allopathic medicines in open plastic containers. Whenever a patient visited their clinic, they would distribute the medicines directly by hand, without any proper packaging or hygiene. Some of these medicines were also being sold in nearby grocery stores.
