Ayurveda and Homoeopathy graduates found practicing allopathy in Sangareddy
In a major crackdown on illegal practice of allopathic medicine, the Telangana Medical Council (TGMC) has found several ayurvedic and homoeopathic graduates unlawfully practicing allopathic medicine across various parts of Sangareddy district. The inspections, conducted in response to public complaints, revealed unauthorised use of steroids and painkillers and unlicensed clinics, posing serious threats to public health.
Led by TGMC president Mahesh Kumar, five inspection teams combed through around 25 clinics and hospitals located in Old Bus Stand, Malkapur, Isnapur, Sadashivpet, Konkole, Daulatabad, Narsapur, and Zaheerabad. During the inspections, officials uncovered that several individuals with BAMS, BHMS and qualifications were not only practicing allopathic medicine without authorisation but were also administering medications typically reserved for use by licensed allopathic doctors. Some facilities were found operating without any formal registration or licenses, TGMC said.
Such actions violate Sections 34 and 54 of the National Medical Commission (NMC) Act, and the TGMC has announced strong measures to address these violations. 'A detailed report will be submitted to the District Collector and the District Medical and Health Officer (DMHO). Clinics and hospitals found without proper registration will face legal action, including recommendations for closure. The Medical Council will file FIRs against those violating the NMC Act. All further proceedings will be pursued through legal means,' said Dr. Mahesh Kumar.
