Why IMA is so callous about the following harrowing problems plaguing the medical fraternity?

  • promotion of AYUSH as practitioners of allopathy; 
  • imposition of statutory obligation of providing treatment to patients as per section 12(2) of the Clinical Establishments Act, 2010, without any provision for payment for services rendered as proposed in the Report no. 201 submitted in 2006 by the Law Commission of India titled as — ‘Medical Treatment after Accidents and During Emergency Medical Condition and Women in Labour; 
  • involvement of the NBE (National Board of Examinations), meant for medical super-specialties, in the BSc (Community Health) course even though the MCI thought it fit to keep itself out of this flawed scheme; 
  • compulsory rural service before admission to PG medical courses; 
  • proposed increase in duration of internship to two years by adding one year specifically for rural service; 
  • quackery.
