Surgery can be performed by a person who is specialist in Surgery and have required qualification that is PG Program.

MBBS can perform a surgery only in special cases like-

-When it has to be performed in sudden emergency to save life and no qualified

surgical help is available.

-When the doctor concerned is in service and the employer gives written instructions that he or she should perform the surgery and the doctor feels that he can carry out the instructions.

-When, especially in a remote area, the condition is serious and the patient / relatives are not willing to go to a qualified surgeon and insist in writing, thereby indemnifying him, that the surgery must be performed by an MBBS doctor and when the latter has knowledge, experience, confidence and facilities.

-When the MBBS doctor is undergoing training in surgery and performs the surgery under supervision of a surgeon.

Good Luck!!

An MBBS doctor can perform below tasks -



1) He can do all the Minor Surgical Procedures for which he is trained in MBBS Course and Housemanship.

(2) He can do Deliveries and its related procedures as trained.

(3) He can do National Programmes like Tubectomies & Vasectomies.

(4) In emergencies if a qualified surgeon is not available in the near vicinity as a life savings measures he can do first aid and a Surgical Procedure based on his experience.

(5) He should not do Elective Major Surgical procedures and the care should be taken to refer to a nearby Hospital where a Surgeon/Gynaecologist is available.



Hope this helps!!!
