Kerala HC calls for verifying educational qualifications of all govt. doctors

The Hindu  

In the wake of reports about doctors securing appointments in government service by producing fake certificates, the Kerala High Court on Thursday observed that steps should be taken to verify the educational certificates of all working government doctors, if necessary. Kunhikrishnan observed that certain guidelines were necessary to ensure that appointment orders are issued to the selected candidates for the post of medical practitioners only after getting their educational certificates verified and authenticated by the universities/institutions which have issued these. Seema who is now suspended as junior consultant at Taluk Hospital, Karunagappally, had produced forged certificates of post-graduate courses in Gynecology and Obstetrics from a Maharashtra-based medical institution. The petitioners also pointed out that since a suspicion arose regarding the competency of the doctor, they enquired about the academic credentials and qualifications of the doctor who claims to have obtained MS in Obstetrics and Gynaecology from the Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Maharashtra.
