“Take action against quacks”

Nagercoil: The Indian Medical Association here has urged the Government to take action against quacks.

K.Vijayakumar, past president and executive member of IMA, said quacks outnumbered registered practitioners all over the State.

Several patients suffer at the hands of quacks, owing to their wrong diagnosis and treatment resulting in mental disorder, paralysis, kidney failure, cardiac problems, respiratory problems etc.

Some of the quacks even do surgery for piles, hydrosol, eye operations, abortions etc. thereby causing damage to lives.

Hence, the Government take action against quacks.
