Two doctors who were named faculty at two medical colleges, were removed from the state medical registry as per recommendations of the Medical Council of India.

The state medical council received a communication from the Medical Council of India saying the name of Dr Gopinathan, who was attached to Kannur Medical College as a faculty member was also found in another medical college in violation of the Medical Council of India Act. Likewise, the name of Dr Anandan, who was a faculty member at the Trivandrum-based Southern Institute of Medical Sciences, was also found in another medical college. After an inquiry, the disciplinary committee found both doctors guilty and had recommended the state council to take action.

While Tirunelveli-based general surgeon Gopinathan has been banned from practice for three years, Chennai-based thoracic surgeon Anandan has been debarred for a year, said Tamil Nadu Medical Council president Dr K Senthil.
