18-month course in modern (emergency) medicine for AYUSH practitioners

Bengaluru: The state health and family welfare department has recommended Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) to start an 18-month course in modern (emergency) medicine for Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy (AYUSH) practitioners to practice allopathy.

The department is also looking at roping in more private medical universities for this course. “We have requested other private medical universities too for the same 18-month course in modern (emergency) medicine,” said Madan Gopal, principal secretary, Karnataka Health and Family Welfare Department.

Following the shortage of doctors, people residing in rural areas do not have access to proper healthcare facility. Hence if AYUSH practitioners are legally allowed to take up integrated practice, then it will help improve the primary healthcare system in the state, Gopal added. [Source: Deccan Chronicle]
WHOLE MEDICAL COMMUNITY OF MODERN MEDICINE SHOULD OPPOSE IT AS IT IS AGAINST SUPREME COURT RULING THAT NO PRACTITIONER CAN PRACTICE ANOTHER SYSTEM OF MEDICINES AS MEDICINES DIFFER A LOT AND WHOLE CURICULUM IS DIFFERENT A PERSON DOING PRACTICE OF ANOTHER SYSTEM IS CALLED "QUACK"
BUT OUR POLITICIANS EARNES CRORES IN THERI PRIVATE MEDICAL COLLEGES BY ADDING SUCH COURSE SOTHAT THEY WILL GET FEE IN CRORES BY TAKING SHORTAGE OF DOCTORS IN INDIA,IT IS BETTER TO MAKE EVERY COMMON MAN A DOCTOR GIVE SUCH TRAING AND GIVE LICENSE TO PRACTICE MODERN MEDICINES ,THEY WILL EARN IN BILLIONS WHAT TO TALK OF MILLIONS AND EVEN SHORTAGE OF DOCTORS WILL VANISH.
IT SHOULD BE BANNED AS THIS WILL PRODUCE QUACKS AND WILL KILL OUR COMON PEOPLE,OUR POLITICIANS SHOULD UNERSTAND IT,FOR THEIR TREATMENT THEY WILL GO TO HIGHEST CENTRE IN INDIA OR ABROAD AND WILL LIVE POOR PERSONS TO BE TREATED BY THESE QUACKS,DOBLE STANDARD BEST FOR OWN FAMILY AND WORST FOR POOR PEOPLE . — with Shreya Nakipuria and 2 others.
