Med Council cracks down on docs with unrecognised qualifications

The New Indian Express Kannur

|

July 17, 2025

THE Kerala State Medical Council (KSMC) has intensified its crackdown on doctors using unrecognised qualifications to inflate their credentials.

- UNNIKRISHNAN S @T'Puram

Having recently imposed a fine on a doctor in Payyannur, KSMC has now levied a ₹1-lakh fine on Dr Collin Alphonse, a private practitioner in Thiruvananthapuram since 2019.

Dr Alphonse, who obtained his MBBS in 2000, was penalised for misrepresenting his specialty qualification and had his name suspended from the State Medical Register for three months.

He was also directed not to claim specialist status until duly qualified. Interestingly, he was fined in 2022 for the same violation.
