As per the letter, pathology is a complete department in a medical college and doctors are available. Even PG students who are in medical colleges conduct tests, observe and learn. Under such circumstances, there is no reason to allow private pathologies for testing.

The government should verify the record of these outsourced private pathologies of the past five years.

It would show that the budget used over private pathologies would be best spent in government medical colleges with sufficient arrangement of reagents etc, said the letter, adding that there was always scope of corruption and malpractices with outsourced private pathologies in medical colleges.
