Ukraine medical scam exposed

source
Some Malaysian agents have allegedly been sending scores of students to unrecognised medical schools in Ukraine after ‘enrolling’ them in the Crimea State Medical University (CSMU).
This shocking revelation by CSMU was contained in a letter it sent to the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) late last year. A copy was made available to malaysiakini.
“Several commercial firms which have long back dissolved their legal contracts with us have been using the pretext of recruiting students to CSMU, but instead sending these poor children to other unscheduled universities,” said university rector Prof AA Babanin in the letter.
Nineteen universities in the Ukraine are not recognised by the MMC and Public Service Department (PSD). About 400 Malaysians are reportedly studying in unrecognised medical schools there.
The MMC could not be reached for immediate comment.
