The Union government’s plan to promote traditional medical systems and open vistas of future prospects for Ayush doctors by allowing them to use modern medical technology is unlikely to succeed as various associations of allopathy doctors are likely to block legally the ways of Ayush physicians indulging in modern medical technology and even handling cases with modern scientific methods, it is learnt.
The modern medical practitioners will challenge the decisions of the Union health ministry in various courts and finally in the Supreme Court, charging dilution of medical systems to enable Ayush doctors to indulge in quackery.
As per the views of allopathic doctors’ groups, the Ayush medical community should confine themselves to traditional systems only, and should not learn or use or handle the modern medical technology either for curing diseases or for improving their treatment methods.
As a first step, a high level group of modern medical associations from all parts of the country has started to chalk out strategies to legally prevent the government support to the Ayush community for their efforts to use modern medical techniques and diagnosis methods. They accuse the Indian Medical Association (IMA) for its silence over many issues concerning the exclusive rights of allopathic doctors.
The reason for the sudden provocation of the medical practitioners is due to the changes made to the draft bill for Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Amendment by the union government recently, and it is likely to be brought into the Parliament in the current session.
