Madhya Pradesh University Exposed for Issuing Illegal Medical Degrees and Creating Fake Doctors

Electro-homoeopathy, which originated in 19th-century Italy, holds no legal recognition in India's medical system.

Bhopal:

In Madhya Pradesh, a government university has been secretly operating illegal medical programs that have produced hundreds of unqualified "doctors" who are now treating patients throughout India without proper credentials.

The Atal Bihari Vajpayee Hindi University in Bhopal has acknowledged in writing that its study centers have been offering Electro-Homoeopathy courses since 2022-23. These courses lack recognition from the Madhya Pradesh Government, the AYUSH Ministry, the Homoeopathic Council, and the Government of India.

Despite this lack of accreditation, 294 students have graduated from these programs, with each student paying Rs 30,000 for a degree that carries no legal validity in the medical field.

When confronted with questions in the Assembly, Higher Education Minister Inder Singh Parmar made a shocking admission: these courses never received official approval. More disturbingly, the government has no records regarding where these "graduates" are currently practicing or how many patients may have been affected by their unauthorized medical activities.

This revelation raises serious concerns: how many more unauthorized practitioners are treating patients without proper oversight? Multiple tragic incidents across Madhya Pradesh demonstrate the potentially fatal consequences of this unregulated parallel medical system.

In Pandhana, Khandwa district, a 14-year-old boy died after receiving an incorrect injection from a practitioner whose only qualification was in electro-homoeopathy, with no formal medical education.

In Indore, a 41-year-old man suffering from high fever died while under the care of Pradeep Patel, who presented himself as a doctor but only possessed an electro-homoeopathy certificate.

In Ujjain, a pregnant woman named Kajal Malviya was examined by someone falsely claiming to be a gynecologist. This impersonator incorrectly stated that the baby was missing limbs, administered blood and injections, and worsened Kajal's condition. Though Kajal later delivered at a legitimate hospital, the baby had already died. The fake practitioner fled, and police filed an FIR.

Electro-homoeopathy, developed in Italy during the 19th century, has no legal standing in India. Its practitioners are not legally permitted to treat patients, prescribe medications, or administer injections. Without proper NEET qualification, medical training, or accreditation, this government university has been contributing to an unregulated network while profiting from unapproved degrees.
