The Maharashtra State Chemists and Druggists Association withdrew its threat to strike in protest of the government’s action to prohibit the sale of allopathic medicine under the prescription of non-allopathy docs. The decision was made after the government agreed to allow dispensation of allopathy drugs against prescriptions of all doctors including ayurveda, homeopathy, unani, etc on Tuesday.
“The state government agreed that, barring abortion drugs, all other allopathy drugs can be dispensed against the prescriptions of all doctors. Hence, we have withdrawn the proposed bandh,” said Anil Navandhar, secretary, Maharashtra State Chemists and Druggists Association.
“The minister promised us that Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) officials would not harass chemists over trivial issues,” added Navandhar. “And, if at all any action has to be taken against a chemist, it will be initiated as per sections of the Food and Drugs Act 1940. Various other issues related to chemists will be taken up at a meeting which is scheduled for July 26.”
Earlier in the day, a large number of homeopathy and ayurveda doctors had held a rally in protest against the FDA directive and presented a charter of demands to the district collector.
Maha Govt decision looks ridiculous.A student after passing 12th exams will undergo various competitive entrance exams and will get a seat in allopathic medical college i.e. MBBS. even after that he has to undergo 5 years of difficult training after which he will be awarded with the degree and is allowed to practice.On the other hand the so called AYUSH doctor will get admission in some so called homeopathy or ayurveda college with just passing marks in 12th exams or even with multiple attempts .If the so called AYUSH doctors are so capable then why not they get admission in allopathic college and learn the same instead of trying for back door entry in this way.A MBBS doctor will have to spend laks together on education and tremendous effort and time and will have to compete with so called AYUSH doctors in the market just for 20/ 30 rupees then i think all allopathic colleges should be changed into homeopathy or ayurveda etc.JUST FOR POLITICAL PURPOSE GOVT JUST TRYING TO MAKE MOCKERY OF MEDICAL SYSTEM AND TRYING TO PROMOTE QUACKERY.Better option with the Govt is that, as recently MCI had recommended to start about 172 new medical colleges in India,Govt can convert all so called AYUSH colleges into allopathic medical colleges with some additonal infrastructure.With this problem of QUACKERY will be solved.IF THIS TREND CONTINUES IN INDIA THEN ONE DAY A BARBER WILL ALSO START CALLING HIMSELF AS DOCTOR AND START PRACTICING. I AGREE THAT PEOPLE REQUIRE SERVICE BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY NEED TREATMENT FROM QUACKS. IT IS EVERY ONES BASIC RIGHT TO HAVE BASIC HEALTH FACILITY BUT IT SHOULD BE OF GOOD QUALITY.SUPOSE IF TOMORROW THESE ORDINARY MASSONS WORKING UNDER ENGINEERS START ASKING GOVT TO GIVE THEM CONTRACTS BECAUSE THEY ARE WORKING ON GROUND AND HAVE ALL THE KNOWLEDGE THEN WILL THE GOVT ALLOW THEM TO DO SO? IT IS RIDICULOUS ON PART OF THE SO CALLED AYUSH DOCS THAT WHEN THEY WANTED TO PRACTICE ALLOPATHY WHY THEY HAVE OPTED FOR THOSE BRANCHES INSTEAD THEY SHOULD SHOWN THEIR ABILITY AND GOT ADMISSION IN ALLOPATHY INSTEAD OF TRYING BACK DOOR ENTRY LIKE THIS WHICH AMOUNTS TO QUACKERY AND CHEATING PEOPLE. GOD SAVE INDIA. JAI HIND
*as a HIMPA member its my personal viewpoint*
well guys we are not protesting to practice modern medicine as it is. .we are suggesting govt to add integreted course in our syallbus for current students and a crash course for practioners. .if u are aware of NRHM programme a 4 th pass aasha worker and 10th passed out with multiple attempt ANM nurses equiped with ganeral medicine to serve rural helth system. .would any one tell me does govt teach them pharmacology with there little brain. .we are shouting since decades that we are already trained with everything as a doctor except this so called pharamacology and govt just add this subject in our syallabus thats all. .if someone attempting MTP in maharashtra it dosent mean every1 exploit the law we know our limitation & our council take action against them . .the demands are not ethical we know but rural health system totally depend on us. .where no any single MBBS want to heading this helth care system . .we are recommonding govement to start a crash course and allow these non allopath to prescribe modern medicine. . u have to know every law is made for society. .society is not made for law. .and every doctor is a doctor first and then a homeopath,vaidya,hakim etc. . for any reader who is not concern our syallabus in UG i would like to mention only this pharmacology is exceptional subject in our studies all other subject are same as it is. .if some1 still not will to understands our wish then its worth banging head at u pepls .
when a aasha worker can give allopathic medicine
then why ayush doctor can not prescribe whenever they study all subject of mbbs except pharmacology
Ayurvedic doctors are requested to reccommend only ayurvedic medicine to patient. Please do not mislead and contaminate patient with dosses of allopathic medicine.
How can a homeopathy or auyr doc prescribe allopathy medication?? A doc needs to study allopathy pharmacology then only he can prescribe. this a wrong example set by maha govt. its not abt the chemists, its abt patients! this is stupid and shud be condemned.
Very good decision taken by Govt. as no MBBS or MD will serve to people with 20 or 30 odd RS as consulataton fees along with one or two medicin. MBBS and MD are taking 200 rs which is non affordable to poor or even middle class who is earning 5000 to 7000 per month. Now govt. must include allopathy subject to each stream whether BHMS, BAMS or UNANI.
Its true without knw one cant prescribe allopathy medicine,but dear frend..same BHMS/BAMS if holding positions as rmo/mo in allopathy hospital/ICU/CCU/Casualty..to give appropriate treatment efficently than wat where its wrong..they did EMS COURCES extra pharmacy classes..they even better in compare to plain MBBS passed out doctor..IF in govt hospital sweeper can take stiches/ under local anasethesia can remove lipoma/ can give injection witout knw its its science n pharmac..than why not BHMS/BAMS????????
a b.h.m.s. holder must have permission io give alleopathy bcoz there and mbbs subject are most of same jst pharmocology is different.if pharmocology is added to studene nd traning for practionars so what is problem to give them allopathy.they do well practise by both to serve the people.for all u r kind information homeoapathy can cure appendix without ot. ….
ayush doctor will be ready to serve poor people with ayush medicine and moderen medicine after completing this 1 year pharmacology course
is any mbbs doctor has hospital in vlillage area
who will serve them AYUSH DOCTOR
IT IS VERY GOOD DECISION
