Physiotherapists Can Use ‘Dr’ Prefix; Title Not Exclusive to Medical Professionals: Kerala HC - Video

Ernakulam: The Kerala High Court recently dismissed the pleas seeking a ban on Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapy Professionals to proclaim themselves as the first health care provider and use 'Dr' prefix.

"As rightly contended by the respondents, the NMC Act does not contain any provision for conferring the title Doctor on qualified medical professionals," the bench noted.
