How to trust India doctors like that?
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.todayonline.com/chinaindi...inglepage=true Why India's medical schools are plagued with fraud PUBLISHED: 9:50 PM, JUNE 16, 2015(PAGE 1 OF 1) - PAGINATE MUZAFFARNAGAR, India -------- "In a four-month investigation, Reuters has documented the full extent of the fraud in India’s medical-education system. It found, among other things, that more than one out of every six of the country’s 398 medical schools has been accused of cheating, according to Indian government records and court filings. -------- "Paying bribes – often in the guise of “donations” – to gain admission to Indian medical schools is widespread, according to India’s health ministry, doctors and college officials. “The next generation of doctors is being taught to cheat and deceive before they even enter the classroom,” said Dr. Anand Rai. He exposed a massive cheating ring involving medical school entrance exams in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh in 2013. Rai was given police protection after he received death threats following the bust." ------ “The market has been flooded with doctors so poorly trained they are little better than quacks,” Rao told Reuters. Not that a legitimate degree necessarily makes a difference. A study in India published in 2012 compared doctors holding medical degrees with untrained practitioners. It found “no differences in the likelihood of providers’ giving a diagnosis or providing the correct treatment.” The study, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, concluded that in India, “training in and of itself is not a guarantor of high quality.” ------ “The Medical Council of India is a junk body,” said Dr. A. K. Asthana, principal and dean of Subharti Medical College in the northern city of Meerut, which has been accused of demanding illegal fees for admission. Asthana denies the allegations. The council has tried – unsuccessfully so far – to close the school. “I’m totally frustrated with the MCI. Totally frustrated,” he said. Click here to view the whole thread at www.sammyboy.com. |
