At least 45 super-speciality doctors will face the heat from the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) for submitting fake documents for registration. As per the ongoing investigation, they have been found guilty and their licence to practice might get suspended. This comes after the apex medical regulating body sent show-cause notices to 50 doctors (an inquiry against the remaining doctors is pending). In the past two years, the licences of 78 doctors have been suspended. All the doctors found guilty are from the College of Physicians and Surgeons’ 2015 batch.

"The list seems never-ending as we have found another 45 doctors who have submitted fake documents. We are reviewing doctors from as far back as 2010. It will take time to scrutinise all the documents," said Dr Shivkumar Utture, president of MMC.
