Doctors with forged degrees serving in private hospitals? 3/16/2018 12:25:00 AM Early Times Report SRINAGAR, Mar 15: Many a precious lives have been put to risk as many a doctors with fake degrees are working in private clinics of the state and government has no mechanism to check the authenticity of their degrees. "There is no check whether these doctors are holding genuine degrees. They treat patients in private hospitals and nursing homes but there shall be proper check whether they hold genuine degrees or the fake ones. We can't play with the lives of people," an official said. "We don't know the credentials of the medicos from other states serving in private hospitals and clinics. There must be some accountability from where these doctors including the allopathic doctors have received the degrees," the official said. According to the official details, 42 private hospitals and nursing homes are registered with the department of Health Services Kashmir. Similarly, scores of private hospitals are registered with Health Services Jammu. They charge the patients as per their will and there is no check on them as Government has failed to regulate their working. "Most of these hospitals are charging patients with hefty sums for consultations and surgeries which vary from hospital to hospital. They charge patients as per their will despite that there is no accountability. They should atleast give better health care to the patients," the official said. An official of health department said a team of officials inspect hospitals prior to its registration. "Their registration is also being renewed every three years. We check their manpower, infrastructure and they also have to get the NOC from the fire services department, pollution control department and municipal committees," he said. However, sources said these hospitals only keep the required facilities available when any inspection team visit them but fail to get NOCs from the concerned agencies. Except few, these hospitals have no accident and emergency units, which is mandatory for every hospital. Barring a few, these hospitals also lack intensive care units, ventilators and diagnostic facilities.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
