Special Assignment: Dodgy Doctors, 18 January 2015

In this week’s episode on Special Assignment we investigate and expose an alleged organized crime syndicate of medical doctors, operating from the Lister Medical Centre in Johannesburg. Our four- month long investigation has uncovered disturbing practices by some qualified medical doctors, who sell their practice numbers in exchange for cash. Their registered numbers are then used by groups of fake doctors to ply their illicit trade under the guise that they are real doctors. This is an unlawful scheme that is putting patients’ lives in danger when they unknowingly consult with these alleged fake doctors. The Special Assignment team found unhygienic, clandestine, makeshift surgeries, operating under the guise of legitimate Health facilities. Equally sinister are the findings of a recent study conducted by Wits University that this criminal conduct appears to be rife in the South African Health Care System.

you catch them then give them bail and they do the same thing again. We have useless authorities

[@vuvufuzzy2594]

"The state wouldn't know until such a doctor is caught by members of public", basically the community is not protected - where are the Health inspectors? The same goes for HPCSA, totally useless! This corrupt doctor is an untouchable. His licence must be seized
