The now disgraced Dr Shekhar Salkar should immediately resign as the President of Goa State Medical Council for high-handedly faking himself to be an Oncosurgeon or Oncologist.
Dr Shekhar Salkar has lost all moral authority to continue heading the State Medical Council. If Dr Salkar does not resign within 48 hours the intervention of the Medical Council of India would be sought on this grave impropriety amounting to blatant act of quackery by Dr Salkar. Dr Shekhar Salkar is not qualified to proclaim himself to be an Oncosurgeon or Oncologist. Have given him an open challenge to show his requisite qualification approved by the Medical Council of India that he possesses a super specialty diploma or degree of M.Ch (Master of Chirurgiae), DNB (Diplomate of National Board), or DM ( Doctorate in Medicine). As head of the Goa Medical Council, Dr Salkar should have led by example in upholding ethics. But it is very anguishing that alike politicians, Dr Salkar has also stooped low in faking his qualifications. There needs to be also stern action against those hospitals taking patients for a ride by falsely and misleadingly projecting Dr Shekhar Salkar as an Oncosurgeon or Oncologist. In no profession can one mislead people about qualifications and especially in the medical arena where probity is all the more important as unlike the legal profession there is no room for a first and second appeal. After the very disturbing fraudulent illegalities resorted to by Dr Shekhar Salkar at the Goa Cricket Association having come to light, there now ought to be a thorough probe into Dr Shekhar Salkar’s affairs at the Goa Cancer Society and National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication (NOTE).
