A joint raid by the Betul health department and police sealed three unlicensed clinics and a pathology laboratory in Khedi Saanvligarh, exposing illegal medical practice.
Betul district authorities launched an unannounced inspection in the Khedi Saanvligarh area of the district. A combined team of health officials and police officers entered several premises suspected of providing medical services without the required qualifications.
During the operation, officials sealed three clinics that were operating without proper registration and a pathology laboratory that lacked accreditation. The establishments were found to be treating patients despite the absence of qualified doctors or certified lab technicians.
The raid has raised concerns about the oversight of private health facilities in Madhya Pradesh. Officials said further investigations will be carried out to identify any additional illegal operators and to ensure compliance with statutory health standards.
Patients who had visited the sealed centers were advised to seek care at government hospitals or licensed private practitioners. The health department reiterated its commitment to safeguarding public health by cracking down on fraudulent medical practices.
