Quack labs

In our society, the problem isn’t only with unqualified doctors but also with medical labs that hire untrained staff. These people don’t know how to perform proper tests, which leads to wrong diagnoses. As a result, patients receive incorrect treatments, making their health problems worse. It has also been observed that quacks and unqualified laboratories are often connected. Many of these unlicensed doctors deliberately send their patients to these unreliable labs, further endangering the health of individuals.

This harms the patients and wastes their hard-earned money on ineffective treatments and incorrect diagnoses. Strict regulations are needed not only for medical practitioners but also for medical laboratories. Every laboratory should be operated by qualified and trained professionals, and the government must ensure that only certified labs are allowed to perform medical tests.
