Dear colleagues, presidents
and secretaries of local IMA branches,
Medical profession
along with medical education& Medicare are in crisis.
To save the profession
from the clutches of retrograde undemocratic acts, IMA decided to
wage war against faulty &draconian acts and impending bills like NMC.
In this war,we,the IMA
has won First Battle but you know the War must Continue to reach our target.
Out of many draconian acts, NMC Bill is the greatest catastrophe
to our medical profession. But for the strong intervention of IMA the bill
would have been a reality by now. The massive lobbying and the decisive
National IMA Surgical Strike on 02.01.2018 could only buy a reprieve of few
weeks. Only the sustained resistance from the alert medical fraternity and the
medical students can save the profession from the onslaught of the bill.
IMA anticipates that the Parliamentary standing committee report
on NMC will be tabled in Loksabha during the second part of the
Budget session between March 5 th and April 9 th .
Hence there is an urgent need to reach out to every member of our fraternity
and to the every student of our medical colleges. The second round of
confrontation may need extraordinary strength. Only the collective might of the
profession coupled with the student power can STOP NMC at this
stage.
We all know that the bill is undemocratic and anti federal in
nature with non representative character. Not only the bill is anti student and
anti poor but is also blatantly prorich.
Legalising cross pathy will destroy the Health of our
people for generations to come. IMA has put up our case strongly before the
Parliamentary Standing committee.
Coming 6weeks are very crucial. That’s why several steps
have been planned by IMA to checkmate the bill.
To CONSOLIDATE THE FRATERNITY&Medicos,national IMA along
with state&local chapters initiated " IMA YATRA from.25 th February
to 25 th March 2018
Health is different
from Health care.
Medical profession is
one of the crucial tool in health care along with Drugs,devices and
diagnostics.

govts neglecting health, health care and since 3 decades targeting the medical
profession due to which...
