To curb incidents of forgery, doctors will now get their practice certificates with separate QR codes. Unlike earlier, these documents will now be directly emailed to the registered IDs of doctors. This is the first time that the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) has come up with this idea.

According to MMC, this move will help identify doctors within minutes. On Friday, mid-day carried a report stating as many as 105 doctors from the College of Physicians and Surgeons had been found guilty of submitting fake documents to the Council. Therefore, to curb use of illegal practices, the Council is slowly coming up with various methods.
