Ever seen this doctors' association call for removal of a doctor from medical register for molesting resident docs/patients? Or for removing names of doctors of Khyati Hospital in Gujarat who caused deaths of so many patients by doing unnecessary angioplasty for Ayushman money?
#FAIMA appreciate action taken by @NMC_BHARAT on cancelling registration of all involved doctors in #BombBlast on immediate basis. #FAIMA stand by country firmly & demand strict action against culprits who tried to malign such noble profession by doing such heinous crime.
