Thyrocare offered us Margin for Every sample: MARD to MMC
Mahashatra: Resident Doctors under the organization Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors have written to the Maharashtra Medical council, accusing Thyrocare, a leading diagnostic chain of laboratories in the state, of following unethical practices to get more doctors to refer them blood samples.
The complaint clearly states
“Thyrocare has proposed to give margin to doctors one every sample that they send to the laboratory. This is gross violation of Medical Ethics and therefore the above mentioned laboratories must be taken to task by Maharashtra Medical council.”
"This is how big corporates are trying to promote unethical practices in healthcare. We have written to MMC in this regard. Action must be taken against such big corporates. This clearly amounts to Solicitation of patients by an institute/organization” Dr Sagar Mundada, president MARD explained to Medical Dialogues team.
He also furnished a document, which clearly highlights the details of investigations, their price at thyrocare, and the cut that doctors would receive per test.
