In a sweeping operation that has shaken India’s medical education sector, the country’s premier investigation agency, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), has unearthed what is believed to be one of the largest medical education corruption cases in the country’s history.
The scheme allegedly involved what the agency called “egregious” acts, including bribery, criminal conspiracy, and forgery, as well as collusion.[…]
The scope of the alleged scam spans multiple states, suggesting a coordinated effort that has ramifications for over 40 institutions nationwide and undermines the integrity of medical education across India, experts said.
The NMC is a regulatory authority in India responsible for overseeing medical education, professionals, institutions, and research. It recognises medical qualifications, accredits medical colleges, registers medical practitioners, and monitors medical practices while assessing the medical infrastructure across the country.[…]
Nidhi said: “The entire scam has exposed the failure of private medical education in India. Approvals are now being auctioned like vegetables in a market. This touches everything – ethics, education, healthcare, and social work – and has completely shaken public trust.”
He added: “If you graduate unethical doctors, you breed unethical practice. You’re laying the foundation for systemic fraud. People who believed in India’s healthcare system feel utterly betrayed.”
Well, they can always drive truck.
My son works with a woman TFW from India. She told him that in her culture the concept of shame, or guilt does not exist. Whatever you can get away with is the only criteria. Cheat someone, cheat a test, whatever. The only shame is being caught.
I work in tech (which is overrun with “South Asians”) and I can confirm this. The mentality is that if they can cheat you, it’s your fault for not being more vigilant.
” Well, they can always drive a truck. ” or can they ! ???
For cash, you can get a Class 1 licence with honours. Even get a perfect bill of health.

I’ve worked with a trainee product of this system. Unable to manage the simplest of issues on a ward I asked the individual concerned how they’d been accepted into medical school. Answer, “I come from a good family.”
It was never about the doctors or engineers, it was about gaining and keeping power for the liberal party, and replacing the undesirable Canadians
… “failure of private medical education”
Is that code for something?
“If you graduate unethical doctors, you breed unethical practice”
Sure glad it doesn’t work that way when you elect unethical politicians!
Right?
Why were bad doctors not reported before in India? Is this because 90% of the common illness could be handled by someone with a modicum of training some apprentice ship and training (and now with help from AI?). In Canada the guild has conditioned (psy op) everyone to run to a doctor for the slightest upset when this could be handled more efficiently, and the many years of training could be use in emergency wards and hospital. And don’t get me started on the bureaucracy.
In a related story … ALL … of my Doctors here in America in my HMO are from India, with names I cannot pronounce and accents that are at times unintelligible. They seem ‘nice’ enough … but I haven’t had a Doctor … “who looks like me” … “speaks like me” … “was educated like me” … for decades here in America.
Let me guess, that’s payback for my “whiteness” or something?
