of doctors in India are in fact quacks — they operate without a medical
degree. And, it’s not surprising that most of them are found in rural
pockets of the country
The governmQuacks such as these can easily be found in every village
and town because of our ailing government health services system. As per
National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), Uttar Pradesh has only 3,692 primary
health centres (PHCs) as against the required number of 5,172. The
condition of the existing PHCs is another matter of concern.d
Indian Medical Association (IMA) alerted people to be cautious.”Many
lives are lost at the hands of quacks and fake doctors. It is been often
observed that people prefer being treated by quacks as it saves them time
and money.”
Out of the total number of allopathic doctors in India, 57.3% are
quacks and so practice without a degree. The police have also busted fake
doctors in Andhrapradesh and Telangana a couple of days ago.
