HRDA condemns Telangana government's medical council order
The Healthcare Reforms Doctors Association (HRDA) is very upset with the Telangana government.
The government issued an order (GO 229) that adds four more members to the Telangana Medical Council (TGMC).
The HRDA thinks this is unfair because it changes the council's makeup and makes the elected doctors a minority.
They also worry that non-doctors, like government officials, will now have a say in medical matters.
The HRDA believes this will weaken the council's ability to punish illegal practitioners and could harm public health.
They think the government is trying to control the council instead of supporting its efforts to improve medical practices.
HRDA strongly condemns Telangana government's GO 229, which adds four additional members to the TGMC.
The order increases the council's strength from 25 to 29 members, reducing the influence of elected medical representatives.
HRDA argues the move undermines the council's autonomy and violates the Telangana Medical Practitioners Registration Act, 1968.
The association expresses concern over the inclusion of non-medical personnel and bureaucrats in the council.
HRDA warns that the order could weaken the council's ability to enforce regulations and protect public health.
