Andhra Pradesh: The Chairman of the National Medical Commission (NMC), Dr Suresh Chandra Sharma has recently been requested by the YSRC MP Vijayasai Reddy to initiate a thorough investigation in order to see the credibility of the allegations of irregularities raised against GITAM Institute of Medical Science and Research.
There have been several allegations regarding the operation and management of the institution which includes a shortage of faculty and resident doctors and land-related issues.
The minister has submitted a letter to the NMC Chairman pointing some of the allegations and has urged NMC to initiate a probe and to take steps accordingly.
In the letter, he stated that "it is reported that there are many irregularities and violations of NMC regulations in the functioning of GIMSR. Reports and complaints are being received that the institute has obtained recognition basing on illegal fabricated documents and by stage management." Along with it, he has pointed out some of the allegations posed against the institution.
Hence the MP has requested a thorough investigation so that NMC can take necessary steps accordingly. Taking cognizance of the necessity to discover the truth behind the allegations, the minister has approached NMC urging it to order a probe.
The New Indian Express reports that MP Vijaysai Reddy requested the state government to revoke the essentiality certificate attributed to GIMSR and to derecognize the institute if the charges were proven to be true.
