Tamil Nadu: Doctor found practicing during suspension, faces action
Advertisement
Tamil Nadu: Tamil Nadu Medical Council has been reported to have sent a show-cause notice to a doctor who had been found practicing despite being temporarily barred by the council.
The concerned doctor had been temporarily barred from the council for allegedly performing sex determination and sex-selective abortions and other violations under the PC-PNDT Act. TOI reports that in 2015, health department officials had caught Dr Ramchandran wheeling a woman into an operation theatre for sex-selective abortion and seized the ultrasound machine and documents. The case, being heard by a Neyveli court, was also referred to the state medical council which, based on an investigation, decided to remove his name from the medical register until further orders.
