During the raid in the district, more than six fake clinics were found. After this, the license of the people running the clinics, the certificate of the doctors and other necessary certificates were sought and investigation was done. During the investigation, two to four clinics were found to have valid documents. As soon as the news of the investigation of private clinics spread, there was panic among the operators of such illegal hospitals. Such operators started running away by closing the shutters of their hospitals.
Let us tell you that yesterday the news of the death of an old man during treatment by a doctor of a clinic in Chapwa Chowk made headlines and after this news the health department has woken up. Surprise raids have been started by the raid team formed by Sugauli CHC.
His action has created a stir. During this time, the staff of the government hospital and ASHA workers were also found in a private hospital. According to the investigating officer, in a sensitive matter like health, such people are providing treatment who do not have any valid bio degree and license to run a clinic.
Dr Rizvi said that Dr Shweta Kumari was treating patients at Jan Seva Health Care. Dr Zafar Shamsul does not have any valid documents to run a clinic. Shivangi Health Care was being run by a doctor without a degree. Dr Saurabh Kumar at Saraswati Shishu Kendra neither has a degree nor any documents.
The doctor at Navjeevan Child Care has a degree in Yoga and practices allopathy. The most suspicious condition was found at Chandan Health Care. A student, Shweta Kumar, was treating patients here posing as a doctor. A government hospital’s slip and Asha workers were also found here. Let us tell you that all the illegal clinics that are operating, run on the strength of Asha workers. Whatever money the patient pays to the clinic operators for bringing a patient from any Panchayat, half of that money goes to the Asha workers.
