As part of its national wide protest against giving ayurvedic doctors the right to do surgery, Indian Medical Association members today staged a protest at the local boat club in the civil lines area of Roorkie in Haridwar district of Uttarakhand.
The protesting Allopathic doctors alleged that by giving right to do surgery to the ayurvedic doctors, the life of patients will be put to a big risk. They asserted that Ayurvedic doctors today are resorting to “mixopathy”.
Led by Dr Vikas Tyagi, local IMA head, the doctors demanded immediate withdrawal of centre’s notification that allows Ayurvedic doctors to perform surgeries.
It is noteworthy that Central Council of Indian Medicine’s (CCIM’s) has recently decided to allow Ayurveda practitioners to perform surgeries. This had led to uproar among allopathic doctors.
