\"quackQuack doctors are medical impostors who pretend to professionally or publicly possess the skill, knowledge or qualifications of being a medical practitioner.<\/p>\n

This dangerous illegal practice of quack<\/a> doctors can happen everywhere. One example is a woman in France posing as a doctor and claiming to be able to test Covid at home for 70 Euros per test, according to France Bleu Paris<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It was when the virus just penetrated France and the knowledge of PCR test was not widespread like at present. One of her victims came forward after testing positive by a lab two weeks later. Turned out the false test was because she used medical equipment for diabetes. For several months, this woman ripped off at least six people in Hauts-de-Seine through her multiple emergency doctor profiles on social networks and persuasion ability.<\/p>\n

Quite a lot of quack doctors have claimed medical knowledge without the actual qualifications, training and registration from the appropriate council or authority. How do you check their license and credentials?<\/p>\n

In Malaysia, all medical references are checked through the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) or Malaysian Dental Council (MDC).<\/p>\n

Health Director Noor Hisham, Ministry of Health (MOH), shared several categories of fake doctors.<\/p>\n
