rent-a-doctor scandal

The rent-a-doctor scandal involved some private fertility clinics in India hiring doctors who were not adequately qualified or licensed, often on a contractual basis. These doctors were sometimes involved in unethical practices, such as falsifying records or administering treatments without proper credentials, to increase success rates and profits. The scandal raised concerns about the integrity, safety, and regulation of fertility treatments, leading to increased scrutiny of clinic practices and licensing standards. It highlighted the need for stricter oversight to ensure patient safety and ethical medical practices in fertility healthcare.
