New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted raids at 91 locations across 18 states on Thursday in a case against medical councils which registered unqualified foreign medical graduates to practise medicine in India.
CBI is investigating 14 state medical councils and 73 foreign medical graduates who were allowed to practise medicine in the country without having qualified in the mandatory Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE).
The National Board of Examination had intimated the Union Ministry of Health & Family Welfare about the 73 medical graduates who did their MBBS from countries like Russia, Ukraine, China and Nigeria between 2011 and 2022 but have not cleared FMGE, and yet got registration through various state medical councils.
“Such fraudulent and fake registration of non-qualified persons will be detrimental to the health and well-being of citizens. It has inter-state ramifications in the health sector,” Union Health Ministry complained to the CBI.
