New MBBS curriculum calls for holistic medicine, Doctors cry mixopathy
Doctors are upset with the inclusion of alternate health systems i.e. AYUSH in India and history of Medicine in the foundation course of the new MBBS curriculum, which has recently been released by the Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) of the National Medical Commission (NMC).
They have alleged that by including the Indian System of Medicine in the MBBS course, NMC, in reality, has opened the doors for Mixopathy, and by the year 2030, India will only have Hybrid doctors.
"In its recently published curriculum for MBBS, AYUSH has got an official foothold. NMC coupled with provisions in New Education Policy will spell doomsday for modern medicine. By 2030 India will only have HYBRID DOCTORS !! This is going to adversely affect not only the medical students but also the healthcare delivery system," opined Dr. Ravi Wankhedkar, Health Activist and Past president of the Indian Medical Association (IMA). He also mentioned that the doctors will protest in all possible forms.
