Tiruppur Cracks Down on Medical Quackery

Tiruppur's administration has initiated a stringent crackdown on medical quackery, issuing directives for all clinics, nursing homes, and hospitals to secure registration certificates. This measure, mandated by the Tamil Nadu Clinical Establishments (Regulation) Act, 1997, requires healthcare providers to register with the Joint Director of Health Services. The goal is to safeguard the public from the dangers of seeking treatment from unqualified individuals.

Furthermore, the directive emphasizes that all medical professionals operating within these establishments must have completed approved medical courses. Their registration with the Tamil Nadu Medical Council needs to be clearly visible on both the establishment's name board and all medical prescriptions issued. This move underscores the commitment to ensuring that only licensed and qualified practitioners provide medical services in Tiruppur.
