These 37 bogus doctors have been found in five talukas of the district - Ambarnath, Bhiwandi, Shahapur, Kalyan and Murbad, the official said.

During the meeting, the health officials were instructed that before giving a no-objection certificate to medical practitioners, the gram panchayats or nagar panchayats should forward their relevant documents to the tehsil-level medical authorities for verification, which will help in curbing such malpractices in the district, Dr Renge said.
