Open letter in support of Dr. Shankara Chetty


April 27, 2023

Re: Allegations of unprofessional conduct against Dr. Shankara Chetty

Dear Members of the Health Professional Council of South Africa,

We are writing to express our strongest support and admiration for Dr. Shankara Chetty.

We were very shocked to learn that Dr. Shankara Chetty has been charged by the Health Professional Council of South Africa for unprofessional conduct. We find it particularly surprising and disturbing that HPCSA has taken such an action against one of the most knowledgeable, insightful, and internationally renowned experts in the treatment of COVID-19 from South Africa. We are writing to state that:

  1. Dr. Chetty's conduct and statements are in accordance with the norms and standards of the medical profession.
  2. The charges that have been alleged against him should be dropped.
