Rajasthan Medical Council directs Hospitals to Verify Credentials of Doctors
Jaipur: After the Delhi Medical Council, the Rajasthan Medical Council (RMC) has also issued an advisory for the hospitals and nursing homes, asking them to verify the degrees and credentials of doctors before employing them.
RMC issued this advisory after taking cognizance of the instances where unqualified or underqualified doctors are employed in the hospitals, nursing homes and clinical establishments in the State.
Clarifying that this is illegal and a punishable act, the Council has also asked the doctors visiting such hospitals or nursing homes to ensure that their patients are receiving medical care from qualified persons.
"It has come to the notice of Rajasthan Medical Council that many Hospitals, Nursing Homes and clinical establishments using modern medical science (Allopathy) are employeeing Doctors who are either unqualified/ underqualified or qualified in other branches for the treatment of the patients. This is against the law and a punishable act," RMC mentioned in the notice issued on 22.07.2024.
