Almost one-third of those who claim to be allopathic doctors are educated only up to the secondary school level and about 60% did not have any medical qualification, a recent WHO report found on India\u2019s healthcare workforce. The situation is far worse in rural India, where just 20% of allopathic doctors have a medical qualification, the study \u2018The Health Workforce in India\u2019 revealed. This pose many risks to general health of public especially poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risk pose by\nquackery: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Quacks many times recommend unnecessary and\nharmful drugs to the patients. They may consume something that causes effects\nother than those promised or expected. This is dangerous and harm health of\npatient seriously.<\/li>
  2. Many quacks prescribe their herbal preparations which\nmay result in allergic reactions or with unexpected drug interactions.<\/li>
  3. The consumers are harmed in a way by wasting\nmoney on products that can\u2019t deliver on their promises. This impact poor people\nespecially.<\/li>
  4. Quackery often lead to misdiagnosis and wrong\ntreatment that pose serious threat to health of the patients.<\/li>
  5. Due to blind recommendations and usage of\nantibiotics to treat diseases and get rid of symptoms, many patients end up in\ndeveloping antibiotics resistance of which quacks are generally unaware of.<\/li>
  6. Quacks generally recommend improper treatment period\nand regime on the basis of experience and not on scientific basis. This lead to\noverdosage and under-dosage many times.<\/li>
  7. Quacks do not use modern methods and tests like\nsugar test, urine test leading to misdiagnosis.<\/li>
  8. They generally lack knowledge of side-effects of\nmany drugs, thereby end up in recommending wrong drugs combination and wrong\ndrug concentration, jeopardising overall health of the patient.<\/li>
  9. Many quacks still use harmful methods of blood\ntransfusions or use HIV infected syringes leading to AIDS to many patients. <\/li>
  10. They generally don\u2019t emphasise Hygiene and\nSanitation, thereby creating a situation of infectious and communicable disease\nin already weak immune patients.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Some positive\naspects:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. They are affordable to poor who may not be able to\npay for their costly treatments.<\/li>
    2. Due to shortage of doctors, especially in rural\nareas, they provide health services to many.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Thus quackery may have helped in increasing accessibility to health services at affordable rate in unreachable areas, they pose a risk to health of public especially poor in many ways. Immediate solution lies in training them with banning quackery after some years combined with efforts to increase doctors in India. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
