They're "Qualified" To Be Idiots And Assholes (They Even Went To "Classes" For It)

Members of the Institutionally Qualified Homeopathic Medical Practitioners Association (IQHMP) have alleged that "the fraudulent conduct of the head of the country's Homeopathic Medical Council (HMC) has become a threat to the country's entire homeopathic medical system." 

According to the IQHMP, Dr. S.D.P. Perera, the president of the HMC is using the office building and office equipment provided to HMC by the Health Ministry to conduct his own private meetings and study courses -  courses that according to the IQHMP are nothing less  than "classes for quacks."

While the Health Ministry has asked medical institutions - Western, Ayurvedic, and  Homeopathic - to forward the names and registration numbers of their respective registered practitioners to the police in order to help the Ministry nab medical quacks, it is alleged that Dr. S.D.P. Perera has made a concerted effort  to safeguard bogus doctors by issuing fake certificates through his private foundation - The  Lanka Homeopathic Foundation. 

Sources claim that Dr. Perera has granted 160 homeopathic quacks temporary registration (Provisional Registration) under Section 27 (3) of the Homeopathy Act in order  to allow them to carry on practicing homeopathic medicine in the country.
