Kolkata, April 27 (IANS) To make medical councils in India “unbiased” and “corruption-free”, NGO People For Better Treatment (PBT) will file a public interest litigation (PIL) to get non-doctors into the council.
“Every medical board in the US has 50 percent non-doctors as members. In India, it is all a doctor’s group. We are planning to bring a PIL soon on this,” PBT president Kunal Saha said here Saturday.
According to the US-based doctor, corruption in the medical fraternity can be prevented if India takes up initiatives that ensure professionals other than doctors are allowed to be a part of medical groups.

The 3D Digital Head and Neck, developed at the Glasgow School of Art and unveiled April 24, is designed to enable students and clinical trainees to view, manipulate, and interact with a 3D head in real-time in order to develop an understanding of anatomy and learn diagnostic techniques and procedures.
The 3D model includes accurate visualizations of the skeleton, nervous system, blood supply, muscles, supporting tissues, and lymphatic drainage. Also integral to the project was the development of an interactive dental injection simulator that will allow students to physically feel what it is like to give a local anesthetic injection and check that the injection was successfully and safely administered.
