WHO report questions qualification of Dentists In
Lucknow   Only one in five doctors in rural India
are qualified to practice medicine, says a WHO
report on Indias healthcare workforce, pointing
to the widespread problem of quackery. The
report, the health workforce in India, based on
2001 Census data and published in June, also says
nearly one-third of those calling themselves
allopathic doctors were educated only up to Class
12. Also, 57 of the practitioners did not have
any medical qualification.

Quackery is mostly dealt at the state level as
state medical councils have been given the
authority to act against quacks. According to the
Supreme Court rulings, practitioners of alternate
medicine cannot prescribe allopathic medicine,
said a senior official at the Medical Council of
India (MCI). The MCI cannot confirm the
authenticity of the figures of 57 since the
council only maintains the data regarding
registered medical practitioners of Modern
Medicine or Allopathic System of Medicine.

Over nine lakh names are entered in the Indian
Medical Register under the Indian Medical Council
Act, 1956. These are all registered medical
practitioners in modern medicine or allopathic
system of medicine. Dr Girish Tyagi from the
Delhi medical council (DMC) said they tracked
quacks regularly and had acted against 200
unqualified persons in the past year. We file
complaints and then it is up to the cops to
register an FIR, he said.

At the national level, the density of doctors --
allopathic, ayurvedic, unani and homeopathic --
was 80 per 100,000 of the population and the
number of nurses 61. The numbers compare poorly
with China -- 148 for doctors and 103 for
nurses. The report is based on old data, things
have quite improved since then, the MCI official
said. The lack of trained health professionals
has been a major constraint on Indias ability to
achieve health delivery. At the time of compiling
the report, the country needed an 700,000 more
doctors but medical universities could produce
only 30,000 doctors a year.

Eliminate the unqualified and the number drops
sharply to 36 doctors per 100,000 people. It is
worse for nurses. If only those trained properly
are counted, it leaves only six nurses for
100,000 people. There is a significant variation
in the density of health professionals across
states. Kerala had 38.4 qualified nurses but
they are only 3.1 of the total population.
Similarly, West Bengal had 30.6 of all
homoeopathic doctors in the country but only 7.8
of the population.

Across the districts, inequalities were massive.
The density of allopathic doctors in the 30 most
impoverished districts half of which were in
Northeast and the other in central states was a
little more than Dentists In Lucknow 9.4 per lakh
of the population whereas, in the most affluent
30 districts, it was 159 per lakh. The report
also busts another myth. The country had 2.4
dentists for every 100,000 people, with 58 (of
the total 593) districts having no dentists in
2001. As many as 175 districts had no dentists
with a medical qualification. Sourcehttp//bit.l
