License of four KGMU teachers suspended by MCI

LUCKNOW: Medical license of four teachers at King George's Medical University (KGMU) was on Friday suspended by Medical Council of India (MCI) for the next six months. This means the doctors have also been refrained from dispelling clinical duties at KGMU or anywhere else for the same period.

Dr Shailendra Singh of the orthopaedic department, Dr Sanjeev Kumar of the general surgery department, Dr Shiuli of forensic medicine department and Dr Parul Verma of the dermatology venerology department were the ones pulled by the MCI, after the latter won the case in the high court.

"The four doctors had provided MCI wrong information on their declaration form during an MCI inspection at KGMU. They had previously appeared in other MCI inspections at private colleges which was hidden by them in the said form. Found out by MCI, the doctors were suspended but they instead took a stay from the high court against MCI's order. Now MCI has won the same case after which KGMU was through Uttar Pradesh MCI asked to carry out the suspension," informed KGMU spokesperson, Prof NS Verma.
