CCMP Row: Over 9000 Maha Homoeopathic doctors call off strike after Govt assures review
Demanding the reinstatement of the withdrawn Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) order allowing registration of Certificate Course in Modern Pharmacology (CCMP)-trained homeopathic practitioners, homeopathic doctors across the state launched a three-day hunger strike at Azad Maidan from July 16 to 18. But the strike has now been temporarily called off after the state government sought four days to review their demands.
The strike led by Dr Bahubali Shah, Administrator of the Maharashtra Council of Homoeopathy, witnessed participation from over 500 homeopathic doctors on Tuesday. They were seen holding placards and chanting slogans against the Indian Medical Association (IMA) and the state government, blaming their opposition for the MMC’s withdrawal of the notification.
They alleged that their rights had been taken away since they do not hold an MBBS degree, but instead have the necessary education to treat the patients. Feeling sidelined, the protesting doctors demanded equal rights in medical practice. HT reported that more than 60 homeopathy colleges across the state supported the strike by sending students to join the agitation.
However, over 9,000 CCMP-certified homeopathic doctors in Maharashtra called off the hunger strike after receiving an assurance from the state government. The government asked them to give four days to review their demands and respond accordingly.
