Ayurveda-Allopathy Fusion plan at JIPMER sparks Controversy, Doctors urge Govt to reconsider
Ayurveda-Allopathy Fusion Faces Backlash, Doctors urge Govt to reconsider JIPMER plan
The launch of India's first integrated MBBS and BAMS course at the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Puducherry, has sparked outrage among doctors nationwide.
Calling the Union Government's plans to mix different systems of medicine (Ayurveda and Modern Medicine) as "unscientific" and "Unfortunate", the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has demanded that the Government withdraw the "regressive proposal" in the interest of public health.
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.
