Private doctors are up in arms against the uterus removal scam. Accusing the state government of taking arbitrary action against doctors in a uterus removal scam and considering passage of a draconian Nursing Home Act which will “ruin private healthcare facilities”, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Monday warned of a state-wide agitation if the government failed to address the issue in time.
Talking to IANS Monday, Chhattisgarh state president of IMA Dr A. Hamdani said: “Doctors will take to the streets if the state government does not make public the report of the probe against doctors in the controversial uterus removal scam within two days, besides amending the norms of the proposed Private Nursing Homes Act, which is intended to ruin the private health facilities in Chhattisgarh.” IMA president of the Raipur chapter Dr Ajay Sahay said: “Only the Medical Council of India has the power to suspend the licence of a medical practitioner. The state government does not have that power, but it deliberately acted against private doctors before probing the case.”
He added: “Now the final decision in the case is being delayed, which will take away the doctors’ legal right to challenge the decision in court.” However, an unfazed Health Minister Amar Agrawal said: “The state government will not succumb to pressure. The probe will take its time. The guilty will not be spared.” Private doctors reportedly removed the uterus of hundreds of women, mostly in rural areas, telling the victims that if their uterus was not removed, it could cause cancer. The doctors pocketed the Rs 30,000 each poor family in the state is entitled to spend under the health-related Smart Card scheme.
The IMA Chhattisgarh state unit has warned of a stir if the government doesn’t declare the report of the probe and revokes the suspension of licences of doctors by Aug 8. Hamdani and Sahay said they will meet Chief Minister Raman Singh, Health Minister Amar Agrawal and officials of the health department to resolve the issue.

Unquestionably consider that that you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be at the internet the simplest factor to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed even as other folks think about issues that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as outlined out the whole thing with no need side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thank you
I had that exact same dream! I did move to NYC after college and work at a top pushibling house before the husband’s job moved us to LA (where there’s not so much of a pushibling industry). But yeah, I know what you mean about career path and dreams being derailed by infertility. I spent so much of the time intended for writing on trips to the doctor or researching treatments online or working on adoption paperwork or chatting on IF message boards. I still do, to some extent, though it’s gotten better since we adopted. And yet, I’m struggling with this all over again, as my husband thinks perhaps we should wait to adopt again so I can focus more on my career, and I am completely unwilling to prioritize anything, ever again, over the family I dream of. You are a fantastic writer and I do think you can do both. It’s hard when so much of your mental space is consumed by IF to find the time and creativity to write a novel, but I believe in that dream, for both of us. It’s hard to cope with all the ways infertility changes us from the people we thought we were. But I have to hope that in the end, we will end up as the people we were meant to be.
