&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;More than half of them don&amp;rsquo;t have any medical qualification, and in rural areas, just 18.8 per cent of allopathic doctors are qualified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Almost one-third (31 per cent) of those who claimed to be allopathic doctors in 2001 were educated only up to the secondary school level and 57 per cent did not have any medical qualification, a recent WHO report found, ringing the alarm bells on India&amp;rsquo;s healthcare workforce.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The situation was far worse in rural India, where just 18.8 per cent of allopathic doctors had a medical qualification, the study titled &amp;lsquo;The Health Workforce in India&amp;rsquo;, published in June 2016, revealed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to The Hindu, Dr. Reena Nayyar, Secretary of the Medical Council of India (MCI), said, &amp;ldquo;I don&amp;rsquo;t think this report has officially come to the MCI yet. But in general, any person practising allopathic medicine who does not have a registered medical qualification comes under quackery.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Interestingly, female healthcare workers &amp;ndash; 38 per cent of the total &amp;ndash; were found to be more educated and medically qualified than their male counterparts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For instance, among allopathic doctors, 67 per cent of females had a medical qualification compared to 38 per cent of males.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The data for each district in the country from the 2001 census were specially extracted for this study, which provided a comprehensive picture of health workers in each district.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Researchers hoped that a similar study was repeated with data from Census 2011, which was not yet available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ignoring those who don&amp;rsquo;t have a medical qualification, the number for India fell to 36 doctors per lakh population. As for nurses and midwives, India had 61 workers per lakh population compared to 96 in China. The number reduced tenfold to 6 per lakh population, if only those with a medical qualification were considered.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Almost one-third (31 per cent) of those who claimed to be allopathic doctors in 2001 were educated only up to the secondary school level and 57 per cent did not have any medical qualification, a recent WHO report found, ringing the alarm bells on India&amp;rsquo;s healthcare workforce.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The situation was far worse in rural India, where just 18.8 per cent of allopathic doctors had a medical qualification, the study titled &amp;lsquo;The Health Workforce in India&amp;rsquo;, published in June 2016, revealed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to The Hindu, Dr. Reena Nayyar, Secretary of the Medical Council of India (MCI), said, &amp;ldquo;I don&amp;rsquo;t think this report has officially come to the MCI yet. But in general, any person practising allopathic medicine who does not have a registered medical qualification comes under quackery.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Interestingly, female healthcare workers &amp;ndash; 38 per cent of the total &amp;ndash; were found to be more educated and medically qualified than their male counterparts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For instance, among allopathic doctors, 67 per cent of females had a medical qualification compared to 38 per cent of males.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The data for each district in the country from the 2001 census were specially extracted for this study, which provided a comprehensive picture of health workers in each district.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Researchers hoped that a similar study was repeated with data from Census 2011, which was not yet available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ignoring those who don&amp;rsquo;t have a medical qualification, the number for India fell to 36 doctors per lakh population.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;More than half of them don&amp;rsquo;t have any medical qualification, and in rural areas, just 18.8 per cent of allopathic doctors are qualified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Almost one-third (31 per cent) of those who claimed to be allopathic doctors in 2001 were educated only up to the secondary school level and 57 per cent did not have any medical qualification, a recent WHO report found, ringing the alarm bells on India&amp;rsquo;s healthcare workforce.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The situation was far worse in rural India, where just 18.8 per cent of allopathic doctors had a medical qualification, the study titled &amp;lsquo;The Health Workforce in India&amp;rsquo;, published in June 2016, revealed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to The Hindu, Dr. Reena Nayyar, Secretary of the Medical Council of India (MCI), said, &amp;ldquo;I don&amp;rsquo;t think this report has officially come to the MCI yet. But in general, any person practising allopathic medicine who does not have a registered medical qualification comes under quackery.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Interestingly, female healthcare workers &amp;ndash; 38 per cent of the total &amp;ndash; were found to be more educated and medically qualified than their male counterparts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For instance, among allopathic doctors, 67 per cent of females had a medical qualification compared to 38 per cent of males.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The data for each district in the country from the 2001 census were specially extracted for this study, which provided a comprehensive picture of health workers in each district.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Researchers hoped that a similar study was repeated with data from Census 2011, which was not yet available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ignoring those who don&amp;rsquo;t have a medical qualification, the number for India fell to 36 doctors per lakh population. As for nurses and midwives, India had 61 workers per lakh population compared to 96 in China. The number reduced tenfold to 6 per lakh population, if only those with a medical qualification were considered.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>More than half of them don&rsquo;t have any medical qualification, and in rural areas, just 18.8 per cent of allopathic doctors are qualified.<br />
</em><br />
Almost one-third (31 per cent) of those who claimed to be allopathic doctors in 2001 were educated only up to the secondary school level and 57 per cent did not have any medical qualification, a recent WHO report found, ringing the alarm bells on India&rsquo;s healthcare workforce.<br />
<br />
The situation was far worse in rural India, where just 18.8 per cent of allopathic doctors had a medical qualification, the study titled &lsquo;The Health Workforce in India&rsquo;, published in June 2016, revealed.<br />
<br />
Speaking to The Hindu, Dr. Reena Nayyar, Secretary of the Medical Council of India (MCI), said, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think this report has officially come to the MCI yet. But in general, any person practising allopathic medicine who does not have a registered medical qualification comes under quackery.&rdquo; <br />
<br />
&nbsp;Interestingly, female healthcare workers &ndash; 38 per cent of the total &ndash; were found to be more educated and medically qualified than their male counterparts.<br />
<br />
For instance, among allopathic doctors, 67 per cent of females had a medical qualification compared to 38 per cent of males.<br />
<br />
The data for each district in the country from the 2001 census were specially extracted for this study, which provided a comprehensive picture of health workers in each district.<br />
<br />
Researchers hoped that a similar study was repeated with data from Census 2011, which was not yet available.<br />
<br />
Ignoring those who don&rsquo;t have a medical qualification, the number for India fell to 36 doctors per lakh population. As for nurses and midwives, India had 61 workers per lakh population compared to 96 in China. The number reduced tenfold to 6 per lakh population, if only those with a medical qualification were considered.<br />

WHO report sounds alarm on ‘doctors’ in India -Samarth Bansal

-The Hindu More than half of them don’t have any medical qualification, and in rural areas, just 18.8 per cent of allopathic doctors are qualified. Almost one-third (31 per cent) of those who claimed to be allopathic doctors in 2001 were educated only up to the secondary school level and 57 per cent did not have any medical qualification, a recent WHO report found, ringing the alarm bells on India’s healthcare workforce. The situation was far worse in rural India, where just 18.8 per cent of allopathic doctors had a medical qualification, the study titled ‘The Health Workforce in India’, published in June 2016, revealed. Speaking to The Hindu, Dr. Reena Nayyar, Secretary of the Medical Council of India (MCI), said, “I don’t think this report has officially come to the MCI yet. But in general, any person practising allopathic medicine who does not have a registered medical qualification comes under quackery.”  Interestingly, female healthcare workers – 38 per cent of the total – were found to be more educated and medically qualified than their male counterparts. For instance, among allopathic doctors, 67 per cent of females had a medical qualification compared to 38 per cent of males. The data for each district in the country from the 2001 census were specially extracted for this study, which provided a comprehensive picture of health workers in each district. Researchers hoped that a similar study was repeated with data from Census 2011, which was not yet available. Ignoring those who don’t have a medical qualification, the number for India fell to 36 doctors per lakh population. As for nurses and midwives, India had 61 workers per lakh population compared to 96 in China. The number reduced tenfold to 6 per lakh population, if only those with a medical qualification were considered. Please click here to read more.
