Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) has decided to make its QR code-based system - know your doctor (KYD) - mandatory for registered medical practitioners.
The decision was made following discussions about fake doctors or quacks operating in rural and remote areas of the state.
What do you think? How effective will that be?
Yes, it is very important to do because we should not know which doctor is fake it will helps us or patients.
Nowadays many fake doctors cases are registered so this is best way to get know who’s fake or real.
It’s is usefull it may reduce risk of fake doctor and easily qr can be scanned and build trust between patients and doctors
It is indeed a great initiative . I hope people don’t come up with ways to create a fake KYD .
Great step! 
KYD can help spot fake doctors fast, especially in rural areas. But success depends on proper awareness and implementation.
This is great!
This will be very effective and helps in identifying the doctors easily and everyone will be aware by implementing this type of QR code.
I think this could be really effective! I’ve seen news reports of fake doctors who managed to consult patients for years, no idea how they even pulled it off.
I think it’s great one !
Yes it will be effective as the medical field can’t have any error
It is the great initiative to avoid the rate of increasing fake doctors QR code helps to save the risk of many patients
Digitalization of medical practitioners is a good approach. Eventually it helps to follow on track of all records and data. No fake information can be possible in this circumstances. It can have a greater reach practically.
Making QR codes for doctors is a smart move. It can help people check if a doctor is real, especially in villages where fake doctors are a big problem. If used properly, it can build trust and improve safety in healthcare.
A QR code system to verify doctors could be highly effective in combating medical fraud. By scanning a QR code linked to an official government or medical board database, patients can instantly confirm a doctor’s credentials, license status, and registration details. This real-time verification adds a layer of transparency and trust, especially in regions where fake practitioners are a concern. However, its effectiveness depends on secure backend infrastructure, widespread adoption, public awareness, and regular data updates to prevent manipulation or outdated information.
Actually it’s a good idea to spot fake doctors
QR code system is a smart step to fight fake doctors. It will help people easily verify a doctor’s identity and build trust. But for it to work well, public awareness and digital access must improve, especially in rural areas.
Very important.
This would be a useful and wise approach as the number of quacks and fake doctors are increasing day-to-day. The effectiveness of this strategy primarily depends on the awareness and education provided on the same to the general public.
Great news. I wish it could work clearly without any errors so that I wish every state should also implement this soon..
Fake doctors messing with people’s lives isn’t just shady it’s dangerous. Making the KYD QR code system mandatory is a solid step.
