The Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) has launched a game-changing initiative to fight quackery and ensure patient safety—the “Know Your Doctor” (KYD) platform. This mobile application helps patients verify a doctor’s credentials before seeking treatment, making healthcare more transparent and reliable.

With fake doctors and fraudulent medical practices increasing, especially in rural areas, this initiative ensures that only registered medical practitioners (RMPs) treat patients. Doctors can now generate a QR code-based KYD card for their clinic, allowing patients to scan and verify their credentials instantly.

🔹 How the KYD Platform Works

✅ Doctor Verification – Patients can check a doctor’s registration status, specialization, and credentials.
✅ QR Code-Based Identification – Registered doctors receive a unique QR code that must be displayed at their practice.
✅ Easy Patient Access – Patients can scan the QR code using a smartphone or computer to instantly verify authenticity.
✅ Secure & Transparent – Prevents fake practitioners from operating and enhances trust in the healthcare system.

🔹 Why This Initiative Matters

🚨 Fake doctors put patient lives at risk – Many unqualified practitioners operate illegally, especially in rural Maharashtra.
📢 Stronger patient trust in verified doctors – Patients can now check a doctor’s credentials before consultation.
🔍 Easier identification of quacks – MMC can track and delist fake practitioners, ensuring better compliance.
💡 A big step toward digital healthcare safety – This initiative aligns with modern healthcare transparency and accountability.
