Medical ethics in this country is non-existent. Corruption is rampant and the MCI, which is meant to control unhealthy practices closes its eyes to this menace. And Dr Harsha Vardhan, the union minister for health & family welfare seems has shown the rare honesty to admit it
Prof Dr BM Hegde
Dear Dr Harsha Vardhan,
I was thrilled to read your measured opinion on our institutions that are supposed to be the guardians of medical education and research. No minister in the past had the honesty to admit that both the Medical Council of India (MCI) and the drug regulatory authority are not just corrupt but are “dens of corruption and snake pits full of poisonous snakes”. These statements can come only from an authentic human being like you.
