Strict action against unregistered doctors, hospitals must verify credentials: Kerala health minister | Thiruvananthapuram News



Health Minister Veena George has emphasized that practicing medicine without proper registration is a serious offense in the state of Kerala. The Medical Practitioners Act 2021 clearly states that individuals must be registered in order to practice legally. The recent incident in Kozhikode, where a fake doctor was involved in a case of medical negligence resulting in a death, highlights the importance of verifying qualifications and registration of medical professionals. The government is committed to enforcing the Clinical Establishment Act and ensuring that only qualified individuals are working in healthcare institutions. It is essential for hospital managements to thoroughly check the qualifications of their staff to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
