A Burning Threat to Human's Health from Quackery: A Review Study

Health as a matter of right is recognized throughout the world for its intrinsic value. Quackery is defined as the promotion of unsubstantiated methods that lack a scientifically plausible rationale. They have neither a recognized degree nor a license to practice medicine and yet a number of quacks are running their “dispensaries” with impunity in every part of the country. They include those who have not received formally recognized training. These fake and untrained doctors pose a serious risk to life for poor patients and they are living in villages or interior areas of the cities. They are not registered with any government regulatory body and operate outside of the purview of regulation. A testimony to their legitimacy, they manage certificates from unauthorized and unrecognized institutions.
