Advertisement
Chennai: Reiterating the stand that medical practitioners in the state are not allowed to advertise themselves or their practice, the Tamil Nadu medical council has now gone to include the digital and online medium in the barred criteria as well. The Tamil Nadu Medical Council recently issued an advisory all registered medical practitioners (RMP) and asked them to refrain from online advertisements.
The circular was issued by the council to remind and warn the doctors in regards to the non permissible practice of displaying photographs in advertisements.
The move came in light of the growing advertisements in the digital space. Speaking about the matter, the President of the Tamil Nadu Medical Council, K Senthil told the Hindu, "We came across at least 300 doctors who had advertised online and shortlisted such professionals. We decided to first issue an advisory asking them to refrain from online advertisements."
