AYUSH practitioners likely to practice at primary health care level
Advertisement
The ongoing as well as long- going debate of allowing ISM doctors to practise allopathy seems to be stirring up conversations yet again. It seems like the government is further inching towards approving AYUSH practisioners to practise modern medicine at the primary health care level
A news in ET has reported this recent development, implying that the Group of Secretaries to PM has backed this fundamentally, and at present, health ministry has already spun into action on the matter.
It has been further proposed to introduce a "Bridge course for Ayush practitioners for primary healthcare". The health ministry seems excited about the proposal by the Group of Secretaries, and has already given its nod in principle by working out a MoU for a bridge course with IGNOU.
This programme has set itself an ambitious deadline of creating three lakh versatile practitioners in the next three years. Nurses for the practice at primary health level are also expected to be churned out following the program.
