The Telangana Medical Act, 1312 Fasli
The Telangana Medical Act, 1312 Fasli, regulates the registration of medical practitioners and the licensing of druggists who sell medicine. It applies to doctors, traditional healers, and drug sellers operating within the region. This legislation matters because it safeguards public health. It prevents unregistered practitioners from demanding fees, caps medical charges to protect patients from financial exploitation, and establishes a dedicated Medical Council to oversee healthcare standards. Additionally, the Act strictly penalizes malpractice, such as dispensing spoiled or dangerous treatments to patients. Ultimately, it ensures accountability and safety in regional healthcare by setting clear legal standards for doctors and druggists.
