Have you had a brush with unregistered medical practitioners or are wary of running into unqualified local quacks posing as medicine experts? Then sifting out the right from the wrong is just a click away now.

With unqualified medical practitioners posing serious risks to the health of unsuspecting patients, Delhi Medical Council on Tuesday launched an addition to its website, uploading the names of all registered doctors in the capital.

The latest list will enable all citizens to locate the right doctors in their localities, the council said. "To know whether the doctor next door to you is a registered practitioner, you just need to log on to the website where you can locate that person by his name, address and his qualification," said Dr Girish Tyagi, Registrar, Delhi Medical Council.

The list, available on https://www.delhimedicalcouncil.nic.in/, includes the names of all 40,000 doctors registered with the medical monitoring body and provides an ideal guide to people seeking such information.

"There are as many as 40,000 registered medical practitioners in Delhi, who have been listed by the DMC. The list that is available on our website aims at checking medical negligence and quackery," Tyagi said.
