Avenues Crime In NepaL
9:58 PM
The identification and arrest of 36 doctors possessing forged academic certificates, mostly of school and intermediate level, and using them to pursue their medical degree have come as a shock to many. Everyone was dismayed by the fact that people with fraudulent certificates thrive in the medical sector that has profound effects on the life and death of a person. As a result, nakkali daktar became a household phrase overnight.
This is indeed a reminder of the dishonest practices prevailing in our society. Not long ago, a professor accused of plagiarism was appointed as the vice chancellor of Tribhuvan University. And despite protests, he continues to occupy the coveted position. Doctors too are products of the same society, and one cannot expect them to be very different from the rest.The majority of the arrested doctors are found to have fake school leaving exam certificates or higher secondary level certificates. However, the surprising thing is that they have been successful in completing their MBBS or MD courses from recognised universities. On the one hand, it raises some serious questions about how they were able to get through the tough courses; on the other hand, it gives us reason to assume that they have the requisite clinical knowledge and surgical techniques to practice medicine. In fact, some of them have been practicing medicine for years and have established themselves as professionals in reputed hospitals.
