A fake doctor, a nurse with a revoked licence, or a lab technician with a criminal history can destroy a healthcare facility's reputation overnight. Truevence provides the specialized, deep‑dive verification that the medical industry demands.

Why Healthcare BGV Is Different (and More Critical)

Healthcare verification goes beyond standard employment checks. Medical professionals hold lives in their hands. Regulatory bodies like the National Medical Commission (NMC) and Indian Nursing Council mandate strict credentialing. A single unverified hire can lead to medical negligence lawsuits, loss of accreditation, and criminal liability for the hospital.

Essential Checks for Healthcare Roles

Medical Licence Verification
Confirm registration with NMC, State Medical Council, or Indian Nursing Council. Check for any disciplinary actions or suspensions.
Education & Degree Authentication
Verify MBBS, MD, B.Sc Nursing, or Diploma from the issuing university. Check internship completion and postgraduate qualifications.
Past Employment & Standing
Contact previous hospitals, clinics, or nursing homes. Confirm tenure, role, reason for leaving, and any professional conduct issues.
Criminal Record & Police Verification
Essential for staff with patient access. Check for any history of assault, drug offences, or malpractice.
Identity & Address Verification
Validate Aadhaar, PAN, and current residence. Critical for locum doctors and visiting consultants.
Fitness‑to‑Work & Medical Screening
Coordinate health assessments, vaccination records, and fitness certificates through certified diagnostic partners.
