Pvt Medical Colleges has been opened in hugh numbers as these are the source of earning crores within 1-2 years be selling MBBS SEATS in 1 crore and PG in 2-4 crores until NEET introduced by Supreme Court.Modus operandi was simple,know the date of inspection of MCI through touts,taking MCI inspectors or administrators in confidence, arrange Fake Teachers and staffs who comes on date of inspection only but showing on papers as working round the year,arrange normal persons from nearby areas and show them as admitted patients,even prepare false opd,ipd,ot and lab test reports and show on papers only required apparatus,OT,Labs,Radiology facilities,Blood bank etc and get recognition from MCI and gradually increase seats from 50 to 150 or 200 and add PG in many subject so that by investing minimum hundred crores can be earned in 1-2 year only.
After NEET and MCI being strict after so much criticised and being replaced by NMC for favours for recognising Medical Colleges against Money with fake patients,staff and facilities,Mahavir Institute of Medical Sciences had approached the apex court challenging the decision of the Central Government that accepted the recommendation of the Medical Council of India that the college was not entitled to renewal of permission for admission to the third batch of 150 students in MBBS Course for the academic year 2018-2019 due to shortage of staffs and admitted fake normal patients in ICU and ward during MCI Inspection 02 times after appeal after ist inspection..
The Petitioner submitted various factual aspects, a Supreme Court bench of Justice SA Bobde and Justice L Nageswara Rao was of the opinion that it is not equipped to adjudicate a factual dispute regarding the existence of staff, patients, clinical material and other facilities in a medical college and hospital.“Deference has to be shown to findings of an expert body which has found that the facilities in the Petitioner-College are inadequate. Unless there is a jurisdictional error or ex facie perversity in an inspection report, this Court will not interfere with a decision taken on the basis of the recommendation of an expert body,” the bench said.
The bench further observed that the institute is guilty of deception and fraud after it found in the report that after physical inspection, it was found that a number of patients were not genuine.The Assessors were of the opinion that patients with minor ailments were admitted in the hospital. There were others who were shown as patients with no serious health condition deserving an admission in the hospital. This was done by the Petitioner with a view to getting the renewal for admission of students by showing that it was complying with the minimum standards. The Petitioner is guilty of deception and fraud.”
So beside cancelling this petition,Supreme court bench proceeded to impose exemplary costs of Rs. 2 crores for showing false patients during MCI Inspection.It is an exelampary order that now Pvt Medical College has adapted this policy to challange MCI or Health Ministry order of derecognising a college to high court and supreme court.Few High Courts ordered MCI for reinspection and allowed The medical college to continue admisssion of 100-200 students but that order of madras High Cout has been overruled by SC too.Now Supreme Court by such order has created a threat and fear to all pvt medical colleges who want relief through court in a way that The Supreme Court cancelled such petition accepting MCI inspection as correct one and rather imposed a fine of 2 crores for applying for relief by arranging wrong arrangements of fake patients,staff and facilities on paper.
Do you think as a Doctor that such peanlity will prevent pvt medical colleges denied admission of students by MCI due to faults and incompetancy during inspection to go to court ? as this order beside cancelling the petition of relief has imposed fine to a tune of crores for keeping wrong staffs and patients.
