PANAJI: Members of Indian Medical Association (IMA) today staged a protest by organising a cycle rally against the Union government’s decision to allow Ayurvedic practitioners to perform medical surgeries.
The doctors criticised the proposal to integrate all systems of medicine such as AYUSH and modern medicine, which is termed as ‘mixopathy’. They demanded that the government withdraw the notification that could allow Ayurveda graduates to perform 58 kinds of surgeries.
“We are not being disrespectful or-anti any stream of medicine but do not mix modern medicine which is a very robust scientific stream of medicine with other alternative streams of medical practice,” IMA said
This notification by central govt to allow Ayurvedic doctors to perform surgeries is a regressive step and we demand that this notification be withdrawn.
