The purpose of the World Medical Association is to serve humanity by
endeavoring to achieve the highest international standards in Medical
Education, Medical Science, Medical Art and Medical Ethics, and Health
Care for all people in the world." High standards, exceedingly high.
Unfortunately the president-elect of the WMA, Dr Ketan Desai, has just
been arrested and charged with accepting a bribe to accredit a medical
college in the Punjab.
According to Indian newspapers, Dr Desai, a urologist, was a consummate
political operator who had amassed a fortune through corrupt practices.
It was through him that private medical colleges were accredited, the
number of seats could be increased and annual inspections were held.
This is not even the first time that the resourceful Dr Desai has been
charged with corruption. Back in 2001, he was removed from his position
as the president of the Medical Council of India. However, he clawed
his way back and was once again elected as president of the MCI in
2009. It is not for nothing that his personal website describes him as
""an apostle of genuine imagination, innovation and creativity which
has resulted in his enviable ascending to key positions in the world of
medicine."
In his second term as president of the MCI, Dr Desai was a crusader for
medical ethics and banned Indian doctors from accepting gifts from
pharmaceutical companies.
