THD Newsdesk, New Delhi: The Indian Medical Association on Tuesday gave a call to all doctors exercising contemporary medicine to eliminate non-essential and non-Covid services on December 11 in a demonstration opposing a Central Council of Indian Medicine announcement which approves post-graduate practitioners in particularised streams of Ayurveda to be qualified to perform general surgical procedures.
Emergency services will operate simultaneously with ICUs and CCUs, but no elective surgical case will be posted, the doctors’ body said. Stating that the announcement by the Central Council of Indian Medicine to recognise the authorised practice of surgeries by Ayurveda practitioners and the establishment of four panels by Niti Aayog for the unification of all orders of medication will only drive to “mixopathy”, the IMA necessitated an instantaneous withdrawal of both.
