Action likely against VSA’s clinic


From our Udupi office
UDUPI : The state health and family welfare officer has directed the Udupi district health officer to initiate action against the Geetha Clinic of the Udupi district minister Dr VS Acharya at Kalmady on the Malpe road. This was informed by Usha Ganesh, chief secretary of the Health and Family Welfare Department recently when scribes drew her attention to the unauthorised clinic of Acharya.
Interestingly, ever since Acharya was inducted into the cabinet, the patients arriving at his Geetha Clinic are diagnosed and treated by a certain Shivananda, a compounder in the clinic who does not even hold any medical degree.
Though Dr Acharya’s name is mentioned in the nameboard of the clinic,he has not chosen to visit his clinic even once in the recent years.
