Without any professional qualification to providing treatment, the RMPs and quacks don the roles of fully-fledged doctors, catering to the needs of slum dwellers, daily wage labourers and deprived persons in several parts of Old City. Largely prevalent in urban slums, RMPs and quacks prescribe allopathic medicines and also administer injections to patients, especially in the old city.

RMPs in the city can only function as para-medicne s, give first-aid and refer patients to qualified practitioners. They are not authorised to prescribe allopathic medicines or administer injections.

According to the Andhra Pradesh Medical Council Sultan Bazar, Hyderabad the RMPs/ PMPs are not medical qualifications.
