Kathmandu, July 4: Minister for Health Ramjanam Chaudhary has stated that the government would not spare anyone who toys with the public health in the name of rendering medical services.
Talking to the National News Agency (RSS) on Sunday, Minister Chaudhary referenced the series of arrest of doctors who adopted medical profession bearing fake academic certificates.
It is shameful to enter medical field by showing fake academic certificates, Chaudhary argued and added that such practice has eroded public trust on medical persons and the institutions.
According to him, the investigations into such cases have alarmed the newcomers in this profession.
The Minister further said the investigation to bust the fake certificate holders was launched since the medical students studying in China started failing in the Nepal Medical Council’s exam.
“When many of the students who studied medicine in China were found unsuccessful in the Council’s exam, the authorities tightened the exam and nabbed the fake examinees. The matter came to me and I granted Council consent for investigation on such cases,” he explained.
According to him, of the total 500 students studying in China, 100 were found to have possessed fake certificates. They showed themselves successful although they had failed the exam.
Since the Act of Council had no mention of any rights for investigation into such cases and action for the wrongdoers, the investigation was launched through the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of Nepal Police.
Minister Chaudhary shared that he had not received any complaints from the doctors who are wailing that the way the doctors are nabbed and brought to book is not appropriate.
The CIB on June 19 had arrested 36 doctors in possession of fake academic certificate in the biggest bust of medical scam. RSS
