Andhra Pradesh: Responding to the serious allegations that Registered Medical Practitioners ( RMPs) and Private medical practitioners ( PMPs) in the area are pretending to be allopathic doctors, and treating patients beyond their purview in the State, the state government has now issued guidelines all the RMP's & PMPs for functioning their First Aid Centres - in the District The Un-Registered, Non-Allopathic Medical Institutions and First AID centres in the area.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that the Health Medical and Family welfare department of the state took out a government order to empowering the paramedical council to give training to Registered Medical Practitioners as well certain Private Medical Practitioners in order to equip them to work as Community Paramedics.
The move had not gone well with the allopathic doctors in the state, who have accused the government of promoting quackery in the state. The Indian Medical Associations condemned the State government’s decision to provide legal rights to RMP and PMPs. Medicos at Osmania Medical College also took out a protest march against the said order. “We work hard to earn a degree, while those less qualified practice in villages. They are now going to receive training and certificates. This is not fair. They will claim that they are qualified doctors with the government certificate,"a senior resident doctor with the Medical college Hospital told
