As per the current system, the documents of the contract doctors are verified by the CMHOs of the respective districts. The identification of the fake doctors has raised questions on the verification process, as the documents remained unverified even after more than a year.

The relevant universities did not take any concrete action on time, leading to a delay in the verification process, the report added. The health department has issued a notice to the CMHOs, asking them to respond within a time frame. The degrees of all contract doctors, including those posted at Sanjeevani clinics across the state, are being verified in phases.
