Nagpur: Dispensaries without doctors, nurses diagnose illnesses

An example of the pathetic situation of the healthcare system can be seen in Nagpur where Nagpur Municipal Corporation has been running OPD at over 10 dispensaries without doctors. In one of the dispensaries, a nurse was found diagnosing and giving prescriptions to patients. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) activists Prabhat Agrawal, Harish Welekar and Narendra Padhade shot a video at NMC’s Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Hospital, where a nurse admitted she is diagnosing and giving prescriptions to patients due to lack of a doctor appointed by the civic body. The nurse is seen saying she had no other option but to diagnose and give prescriptions as she cannot see ill patients go back. This was a brazen violation of the Medical Council of India (MCI) rules if NMC is running a dispensary without a doctor, and diagnosis and prescription are being done by a nurse.
