Campaign launched against ‘retrograde policies’ of Centre
The Indian Medical Association (IMA) will continue its mission against quackery, ‘mixopathy’ and ‘crosspathy’, introduced by the Government of India through its retrograde health policies, Dr. J.A. Jayalal, IMA national president, and Dr. Jayesh M. Lele, honorary secretary general, said.
The IMA leaders were in the city as part of their country-wide tour in their fight against retrograde policies like NMC, NEP and CPA, which they said were making it difficult for doctors to run hospitals.
“We are not against other systems of medicine like Ayurveda and Homoeopathy, but, it is unfair to allow doctors practising other systems to prescribe Allopathic drugs or perform surgeries. They being allowed to do so after brief training is sometimes resulting in adverse reactions and death of patients,” the IMA leaders told a press conference here on Sunday.
