Ludhiana scan centre sealed over PC PNDT Act Violation

Similarly, Civil surgeon Dr Pardeep Kumar said "Despite warnings, the centre’s response was unsatisfactory, leading to this raid."

Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that a surprise inspection conducted by Deputy Director of Medical and Rural Health Services Dr Kanagarani found that the owner of a pharmacy was treating patients instead of a doctor at a private clinic. As a result, both the clinic and the medical shop were sealed.

During the inspection, Dr Kanagarani found that the pharmacy owner without a medical degree was treating patients despite the clinic being operated under Dr Marshall Mahesh Antony. The pharmacy owner accused of consulting patients without a medical degree refused to present herself before the inspection team. 

As a result, the duo were instructed to appear at the office of the Deputy Director of Medical and Rural Health Services for an explanation with relevant documents.
