NEWS: A KZN man, Reshal Dayanand (39), has been arrested for fraudulently registering as a medical doctor and went on to work in a government hospital.
It is alleged that Dayanand was a student at the University of KwaZulu-Natal during the period 2007 until 2015. Dayanand was academically excluded during the year 2013 due to poor performance and was re-admitted in 2015 through the Dean's discretion.
However, he did not finish his Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB) degree as there was one module that he did not pass.
Despite failing one module, Dayanand allegedly managed to fraudulently register with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) to be enrolled as a Doctor. As a result, he was placed as an Intern Doctor at Northdale Hospital, Pietermaritzburg in 2016.
During his tenure as an Intern Doctor, Dayanand earned a total amount of R637 087.75. To cover his tracks, Dayanand allegedly connived with an unknown UKZN officials and generated a fraudulent academic record that indicates that he passed all the required modules whereas he did not.
Dayanand did not attend a graduation ceremony but a fraudulent MBChB degree certificate was generated certifying him as a qualified Doctor - KZN Tonight Podcast
