Homoeopathy effective but Expert Bodies like ICMR best judge of medical protocol in pandemic: Delhi HC
Dismissing a plea seeking directions allowing homeopathic treatment for mild COVID-19 cases, the Delhi High Court has held that expert bodies like the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) are the best judges to decide and accord approval in respect of medical protocol.
"It is true that homoeopathic medicines are very effective and large number of people throughout the globe are availing homeopathic treatment, but in cases of pandemic, which protocol has to be validated by the government should always be left to the discretion of the government. Decision of the government in such scenarios is based upon expert opinions and the experts are certainly the masters of the field," a bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad said.
