Hunger Strike Against Mixopathy: Doctors announce strike from Feb 1, female doctors to join from Feb 7
New Delhi: Pushing ahead to oppose the AYUSH Ministry notification, the members of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) and modern medicine doctors across the country have called for a nationwide relay hunger strike, wherein, women doctors will also join the stir against mixopathy.
The doctors will stay on the relay hunger strike from February 1 till February 14, 2021, while, the female doctors will be on hunger strike on 7th February 2021. Medical Students, Resident Doctors, and Specialist Doctors' Association will also join the massive protest.
Elaborating its stance on the Ayurveda Surgery move, the Association said, "Indian healthcare & Indian doctors have earned the peak positions in the world healthcare scenario. IMA is against Mixopathy. Though there are many systems of medicine, Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, etc., modern medicine has evolved as a system of medicine adopted a system of medicine used by almost 96% of the Indian population based on sustained research & constant upgradation. We welcome & propose that all our traditional systems should strive hard & make themselves more people-centered & evidence-based. Now there is a shift in the government policy; instead of promoting the systems, a new method of Mixopathy, in which systems that are mutually unrelated in principles & mode of Operandi are integrated together as one system. IMA acknowledges Indian population may need different systems of medicine for different conditions of diseases. However, we oppose strongly the proposal to make single doctors practicing all systems together."
