Victoria Hospital doctor suspended for allegedly issuing Fake Medical Certificates

Taking note of the evidence, the Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute looked into the matter. An internal review was conducted, and a proposal was submitted to suspend him based on their findings. 

The suspension order, issued by Mohammed Mohsin, Principal Secretary of the Medical Education Department and Vice-President of BMCRI’s Governing Body, said, “Issuing fake medical certificates is a serious misuse of a doctor’s position. It affects not just the justice system but also damages the reputation of the institution."

The order also added that the alleged action of the doctor violated public trust and the standards expected of government employees, reports TNIE. 

The doctor will now stay suspended until the inquiry is over. He has also been told not to leave the city without written approval from the authorities.

Medical Dialogues recently reported that a surgeon from Civil Hospital in Ludhiana was suspended with immediate effect after a video of him accepting bribes from a patient's family. The video came to light during an event attended by Health Minister Balbir Singh.

The video was shared with Singh during the event itself. It showed the surgeon accepting a bribe, prompting him to take action, and therefore, he ordered his suspension on the spot.
