TGMC Vice Chairman Dr. G. Srinivas said that strict action will be taken against registered doctors of the Medical Council who encourage such actions. Meanwhile, TGMC Public Relations Committee Chairman Dr. Naresh Kumar said that cases are being registered under the NMC Act against fake doctors who practice medicine without registration with the Telangana Medical Council. It also asked the victims of fake doctors to inform the prescription and address they write for complaints via email at antiquackerytsmc@onlinetsmc.in or WhatsApp number 9154382727. The details of the complainants will be kept confidential, assured Dr. Naresh Kumar.
