Panvel cracks down on unregistered private doctors with surprise inspections
The Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC) is launching an inspection drive to verify the credentials of private doctors in its jurisdiction. The move comes after repeated appeals for registration went largely unanswered, leaving most practitioners unaccounted for.
An estimated 700 private doctors operate across Panvel's urban, rural, and MIDC areas. Yet, only a small fraction have submitted their qualifications and clinic details to the civic health department. No official records confirm how many were registered before the planned inspections.
A flying squad has now been formed to conduct on-site checks. The team will verify practitioners' credentials and ensure compliance with registration rules. The PMC has also urged citizens to report any suspected unqualified or bogus doctors. The drive aims to tighten oversight of medical practice and prevent illegal operations. Authorities have warned that strict action will follow if complaints about unqualified practitioners are received.
The inspections seek to improve public health by ensuring all doctors meet professional standards. Private practitioners must now submit their details to avoid penalties. The PMC's crackdown reflects growing concerns over unregulated medical services in the region.
