We have got you covered:
Cancelled DGS-approved doctors are medical practitioners whose approval to conduct seafarer medical examinations has been permanently cancelled by the Director General of Maritime Administration (DGMA) due to serious violations or non-compliance.
Approval may be cancelled due to malpractice, issuing fraudulent medical certificates, repeated regulatory violations, or failure to comply with maritime medical examination guidelines.
Suspension is usually temporary and may be lifted after compliance, while cancellation generally means permanent removal of approval by the Director General of Maritime Administration (DGMA).
