Let MBBS be MBBS. Don’t make medical studies a mixopathy. If this is done then the health sector of the country will be in great trouble. This is to say of the Indian Medical Association. The IMA has said this while protesting against the government’s plan to mix different branches of medical education. The association said ‘IMA opposes all forms of mixopathy. to make a doctor Medical education Mixing will have the opposite effect on the country. This will completely put the health care system in jeopardy.
This reaction of Indian Medical Association has come in protest against the alleged proposal of Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij to teach Ayurveda to MBBS students. The Medical Association has termed this scheme as ‘Mixopathy’. Along with this, it has also been described as a threat to Ayurveda.
‘State cannot interfere in medical education’
Medical education in India is regulated by the National Medical Commission Act 2019 enacted by the Parliament. This is the act which was brought in place of the Indian Medical Council Act 1956.
The Indian Medical Association said that thus no state government is entitled to interfere in the medical education of the country in any way. Because medical education is not a subject included in the ‘State List’ in the 7th Schedule attached to the Constitution of India. Therefore the minister’s statement is unconstitutional, unfortunate and unfair.
‘We can’t become China’
A statement said, ‘IMA considers Ayurveda as our ancient system of medicine. Its principles and traditions should be preserved in its purest form.
Not only this, the Indian Medical Association has also given the example of China for this. It has been said that we do not want to make India China. IMA said ‘China is the only country, which follows integrated medicine. China is certainly not our role model in healthcare.
