Condemning sex determination and female foeticide, the State unit of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has extended its support to the State government in the investigation into the sex determination racket unearthed recently across Bengaluru, Mandya and Mysuru districts.
IMA State president S. Srinivasa told The Hindu on December 15 that the medical body has 179 branches across the State and would collaborate with the government in exposing such malpractices.
“The revelations of illegal sex determination and female foeticide in Mysore, Mandya, Hoskote and Bengaluru have exposed widespread malpractices in the medical field. Such illegal practices are harmful to society and our medical profession. IMA Karnataka State branch strongly condemns such illegal, inhuman acts and never supports doctors and other healthcare workers indulging in such acts,” he said.
