Tamil Nadu government offers three free scans to pregnant women in an attempt to reduce mortality rates. The complaint said, "There is no scientific evidence to this. On Monday, the Intern and Post-graduate Association of Tamil Nadu filed a complaint with police, seeking action against the programme co-ordinators and urging it to stop re-telecast of the show. One of the participants on the show is shown saying a child known to her has no hair because of the repeated scans the mother had to go through during pregnancy. They have accused the channel of editing out parts to make the programme one-sided. Since the telecast, doctor associations have been organising a series of protests accusing the anchor and the channel of distorting facts about diagnosis and procedures such as ultrasound scans for pregnant women. On Sunday, Vijay TV telecast the show 'Neeya Naana' on the subject, 'doctors vs public' in which members of the public narrated their experiences and criticised doctors for prescribing unnecessary treatment and tests. Several associations of doctors have held demonstrations this week and raised slogans criticising the show for what they construe as misinformation on health issues and public health programmes offered by the government of Tamil Nadu. A Tamil TV channel has invited the wrath of doctors across the state through a talk show that focused on unethical medical practices.
