Science vs Tradition? Doctors move Health ministry against MBBS-BAMS course
Doctors have moved the Health Ministry expressing their strong dissatisfaction with the central government's recent decision to approve India's first integrated MBBS+BAMS course, which aims to combine modern medicine with Ayurveda at JIPMER Puducherry.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported about the Centre's plans of integrating allopathic and Ayurvedic medicine with plans to launch India's first MBBS-BAMS course at JIPMER. Announcing the plan, Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare and AYUSH (Independent Charge), Prataprao Jadhav, said that the course is at the conceptual stage, with a new syllabus in development.
Strongly opposing the government decision to launch the course and calling it 'scientifically flawed' and 'incompatible', the United Doctors Front (UDF) association recently stated that merging both systems of medicine into a single course is scientifically flawed and could harm the quality of medical education. Therefore, the association demanded that the government reconsider and revoke the proposed course.
