Telangana Medical Council cracks down on clinics run by unqualified practitioners in Nagarkurnool, Mahabubnagar

The Telangana Medical Council (TGMC) has intensified its State-wide campaign against quackery, identifying eight healthcare establishments in Nagarkurnool and Mahabubnagar districts where individuals were allegedly providing medical treatment without recognised medical qualifications and valid registration.

In Kalwakurthy of Nagarkurnool district, the Council has sought intervention by the District Registering Authority (DRA) against five clinics allegedly providing modern medical treatment without recognised MBBS qualifications and valid medical registration. The move follows surprise inspections conducted by the TGMC on November 7, during which FIRs were registered at the Kalwakurthy police station.

Separately, a TGMC inspection team visited three healthcare establishments in Mahabubnagar district on Wednesday (November 11) to verify the qualifications of individuals providing medical services and their compliance with medical regulations.

The establishments inspected included Shifa Clinic at Masdus Nagar X Road, where M.A. Areef, who reportedly holds a BA qualification, was providing services; A.K. First Aid Center at Doddalonipalli on Pillalamari Road, where Mohd Abid Hussaini, a Class 10 pass-out, was identified; and Yadagiri Clinic at Boyapally, where the individual operating the facility reportedly holds an Intermediate qualification.

The inspection team comprised TGMC chairman Dr. Mahesh Kumar K and members Dr. Raghu Supreeth Reddy and Dr. Puram Giri Raja. TGMC expressed concern over the risks posed by medical treatment provided by individuals without recognised medical qualifications and valid registration, stating that such practices could endanger patient safety and public health.
