Homeopaths can practice allopathy after studying: Maharashtra government
MUMBAI: Maharashtra government today told the Legislative Assembly that doctors wanting to practice allopathy should study pharmacology subject and an ordinance to this effect will be promulgated next month.
Replying to a calling attention notice on the issue of demand of homeopathic doctors to practice allopathy since there is shortage of allopathic doctors in rural areas, state Medical Education Minister Vijay Kumar Gavit said it was not possible legally to allow medicos to practice a medicine which they have not studied.
“Unani, homeopathy and others doctors wishing to practice allopathy should study pharmacology. It will be a full course of one year and they will be allowed to practice only after they clear the examination,” the minister said.
Accordingly, Maharashtra Medical Practitioners Act, 1961 will be amended.
He said the Homeopathy Council in Delhi has been requested to include the subject of pharmacology in the homeopathy curriculum.
Nana Patole, Kushal Bopche, Sanjay Kute (all BJP) said ayurvedic doctors are allowed to practice allopathy in primary health care centres, to which the minister said there is an optional subject of pharmacology in ayurvedic syllabus.
“Those who have studied pharmacology can practice allopathy,” he said.
BJP legislator Girish Mahajan said there is an acute shortage of allopathic doctors in rural areas.
Vijay Waddetiwar (Cong) said homeopathic doctors in rural areas treat patients in remote areas and save lives but still have to face legal problems because they are not allowed to practice allopathy.
Its is reality that any state government has no capability to given a job to an homoeopathic doctors in large amount or in ratio of MBBS doctor. Jobless doctor feel sadness,anxious,abject despair. He think that he has all lost time, money, age. An MBBS even his junior, compounder, GNM, ANM after compliting his course in sort time got a government job and he earn more by private practice.But an homoeopathic firstly got an admission in private college which has large amount of fees, then his degree get more time to complete, there is lack of government college…. almost all are private. After compiting degree there is no vacancy in government job. All are reason which make him anxious ,indifferent. ONLY one sub. pharmacy lead him to so far that his life become miserable. It is unjustice in present time. All MBBS earn in laks and an homoeopaths earn in some thousand. So morose….How he care and maintain for his familly need in sort earning. I thinkAT THERE IS NO VALUE OF HARD WORK AND TALLENT WHEN YOU HAVE NO WEALTH.It is good news to homoeopath to convert himself as allopath.
This would be a nail in our coffin, coming from the land of Homoeopathic stalwarts is a shame, and thinking that these so called Doctor’s would serve the poor in villages is foolish, it could serve the interest of Pharmaceuticals companies, especially all those HOMOEOPATHIC PHARMCEUTICALS MARKETING ALLOPATHIC LIKE MEDICINES- PATENTS

It is sad to hear. I request those dignified and dedicated homeopathic
doctors not to follow such traps which may be easy to show a sudden
relief or change to the patient, who are totally ignorant about the
after effects and complications out of it. All over the world
suffering people are running away from allopathic treatments and
alternative treatments are gaining momentum. So achieving your
competence to become the capable doctor to cure your patient with
homeopathy alone which needs hard work, talent and dedication to
homeopathy, is the need of the hour for the sake of healthy existence
of humanity. In fever cases never suppress fever, which is the most
dangerous thing and most of the complications come out of it. Today
all over the world medical community is exploiting fever patients due
to their ignorance by suppressing fever,
I request different homeopathic associations to arrange more national,
state and district wise seminars and study classes to educate and make
our fellow doctors competent to meet the challenges. I also request
experienced senior doctors to dedicate and share some of their time in
educating the new generation.
I request the new generation homeopathic doctors to seek help and
guidance from the experienced homeopathic doctors known to you during
the struggling times to develop your capabilities.
I myself express my willingness to share and help whomever feel that I
may be of help to them to approach me with your queries. My e-mail ID

I am saying all these once you start making your livelihood by wrong
means, there may not be any reversal of it or you may not have time
and interest to learn the right thing.
Will this be applicable in maharashtra only or in other states also…..?
