Hyderabad: The Telangana Medical Council (TGMC) has intensified its crackdown on alleged unauthorised medical practice, seeking legal action against five clinics in Kalwakurthy, Nagarkurnool district, and conducting inspections at three clinics in Mahabubnagar district on 11 November 2026.
In its communication to the District Registering Authority (DRA), the council urged the authority to initiate appropriate proceedings under the law to stop unauthorised medical practice. It also sought administrative action against the establishments for allegedly providing treatment without the required medical qualifications and registration, reports the daily.
With the objective of safeguarding public health and curbing the provision of medical services by unqualified individuals, the Telangana Medical Council (TGMC) conducted inspections at three clinics in Mahabubnagar district on 11 November 2026.
During these inspections, the educational qualifications of the individuals providing medical services, their eligibility to practice medicine, and their compliance with relevant medical regulations were examined. The committee investigating the matter found three people who lacked the necessary qualifications: one at Shifa Clinic was holding a B.A. degree, one at A.K. First Aid Centre was holding a 10th-grade qualification, and another at Yadagiri Clinic was holding an Intermediate qualification.
The Council expressed concern that the provision of medical services by individuals lacking recognized medical qualifications and proper registration poses a serious threat to public health. The officials who participated in these inspections are: Dr. Mahesh Kumar K, Chairman, Telangana Medical Council, Dr. Raghu Supreet Reddy, and Dr. Puram Giri Raja.
The Telangana Medical Council clarified that, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, only those who possess recognised medical qualifications and a valid registration are permitted to practice medicine.
The Council urged the public not to put their health at risk by seeking treatment from unqualified individuals; it is essential to verify a doctor’s registration details before undergoing any medical treatment. The Council urged the DRA to act in accordance with the law, including curbing unauthorised medical practice and starting administrative proceedings. It also asked for a compliance report detailing the action taken.
