The Lok Satta Udyama Samstha district unit has urged District Collector Sarfaraz Ahmad to regulate the functioning of all Registered Medical Practitioners (RMPs) in the district who were flouting the Government-stipulated norms.
Lok Satta district president N. Srinivas and general secretary Prakash Holla said that the RMPs and PMPs should not use honourific ‘Dr’ before their names, but they were prominently using it. State Government had given clear instructions for the regulation of the RMPs and PMPs, but they were flouting all the norms, they pointed out.
The RMPs and PMPs should not write clinic in the sign board and they should write only ‘first-aid centre’. The RMPs should not be equipped with beds, IV fluids and other equipment and they should not prescribe medicines or administer injections. They said that the ‘clinic’ sign board must be used by only MBBS graduates after getting registration as per Clinical Establishment (registration and regulation) Act of 2010.
They DMHOs of Nalgonda and Vikarabad had issued orders for the regulation of RMPs and PMPs in their respective districts and urged the Karimnagar District Collector too to take measures accordingly.
