The MCI, the nation's apex regulator of medical education, has also denied permission to 47 medical colleges to expand their intake of MBBS students during the 2016-17 batch. The doctor, in an open letter sent to the Prime Minister, said medical corruption is going unnoticed because of "misplaced faith" in the medical fraternity. But some doctors believe a catalogue of medical faculty by itself will not be enough to crack down on ghost faculty. New Delhi, June 11: The Medical Council of India has disapproved proposals for over 80 new medical colleges from across the country for want of required infrastructure and launched a faculty census in existing colleges in a move to crack down on ghost faculty. Grewal today urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to introduce strong laws against "medical corruption," which he has described as the "worst form of all corruption".
