| It is a fact that the MCI's Code of Ethics is not being enforced at all,'' Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss told The Hindu in response to a question on its enforcement.
``It is unethical,'' he added, ``to advertise for cures that have not been tested and scientifically validated. While the Ministry will be happy to assist in validating such claims, we will not allow such advertisements to be made.''
The Medical Council of India, a statutory body regulating the practice of medicine in the country, updated the Code of Ethics Regulations in 2002. The State Medical Councils have since adopted the substantive portions of the code.
The question about enforcement of the code has arisen in the background of the media frequently publishing advertisements from medical professionals promoting themselves and their services, endorsing medicines, and promising cures for chronic illnesses.
