IMA 's WAY FORWARD-Legal ground against Mixopathy' (MIXOPATHY SERIES-POST 2)

 Let's explore THE LEGAL IMPLICATIONS,JUDICIAL PRECEDENTS AND DIRECTIONS REGARDING MIXOPATHY'  IMA's Role as the Largest Professional Organization of Modern Doctors The Indian Medical Association (IMA), as the largest professional body of modern medicine practitioners in India, represents over 4 lakh modern (allopathic) doctors. Its primary mission is to safeguard the integrity of modern medical practice, uphold scientific standards in healthcare, and protect the interests of its members and patients. The Government of India’s proposal to integrate Ayurveda into MBBS education, such as through mandatory one-week elective postings in AYUSH systems (Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Sowa-Rigpa) during internships, has raised concerns. The IMA views this as “mixopathy,” arguing it undermines the scientific foundation of MBBS training, risks diluting the expertise of allopathic doctors, and may compromise patient safety due to inadequate knowledge of traditional systems. ...

Pitfalls and Dangers of the Integrated MBBS-BAMS Course'- (MIXOPATHY SERIES-POST 1)

            MIXOPATHY - KICHIDI CARE-CROSSPATHY   Pitfalls and Dangers of the Integrated MBBS-BAMS Course'   The decision by the Government of India to introduce an integrated MBBS-BAMS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery, and Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) course at JIPMER, Puducherry, has sparked significant debate, with the Indian Medical Association (IMA) and parts of the medical fraternity raising concerns about "mixopathy" and the production of "hybrid doctors." Below, I outline the potential pitfalls and dangers of this decision, supported by authentic points and empirical evidence where available, 1. Scientific Incompatibility and Evidence Base Disparity:    - Issue: Allopathy (modern medicine) is rooted in evidence-based practices, relying on rigorous clinical trials, peer-reviewed research, and standardized protocols. Ayurveda, while a traditional system with cultural significance, often lacks the...

Karachi Story'

 Epilogue: Will Pakistan "Implode" before 2029? it's a question that haunted me since operation sindhur excellently and victoriously executed by INDIAN ARMY&our beloved PM MODI ji. No need of burden of war, no need of drone attacks by INDIA!.  after going through its economy, political picture, corrupted army &fanatic people of Pakistan, the henchman state Pakistan has been controlled by  deep state ,USA, CHINA &Turkiye , my prediction ,that Pakistan will be crumbled with in 5yrs.  SO,LET'S DIVE DEEP IN TO THE STORY.... The air in Karachi hung heavy with the smell of diesel fumes and desperation. Aisha clutched her faded shalwar kameez, shielding her face from the swirling dust. Another price hike. The vendor at the vegetable stand shrugged apologetically, naming a figure that made her stomach clench. Tomatoes, a staple, were a luxury now.  Inflation,  the news anchors droned,  still hovering around record highs.  Her husband, Bilal, w...

Why medical fraternity opposing Digital health Mission?

  Opposition from the Medical Fraternity The medical community in India has expressed significant concerns about digital health initiatives, particularly the DPDP Act and DISHA: Ambiguity in Compliance : The DPDP Act’s lack of clarity on how informal data sharing (e.g., via WhatsApp for quick consultations) aligns with compliance requirements creates uncertainty. Clinicians fear penalties for unintentional violations. Increased Administrative Burden : Implementing data protection measures, such as conducting data protection impact assessments and appointing data protection officers, adds to the workload of already stretched healthcare providers. Privacy Concerns : The removal of the “sensitive personal data” category in the DPDP Act reduces protections for health data, raising fears of misuse by private entities or government agencies. Critics, including digital rights groups, argue that exemptions allowing government agen...

A Story of a Kashmir pundit in disrupted demography

  The scent of pine needles and fear hung heavy in the air, a stark contrast to the postcard-perfect vista of Pahalgam. Aakash stared at the news feed on his phone, each pixelated image a fresh wound. Seven Hindu pilgrims, gunned down. The silence of the mountains felt accusatory, a shroud draped over the vibrant tapestry he remembered from childhood. His fingers tightened around the worn copy of   KALHANA'S RAJATARANGINI , ' a gift from his grandfather. The old man, like so many Kashmiri Pandits, had clung to the hope of return long after it had withered into a painful ache. Aakash had inherited that ache, a dull throb beneath the superficial healing of a life rebuilt in Delhi. Since the attack, my Twitter feed has been filled with images of laser-eyed politicians and clips of TV panelists promising retaliation. In his book "Amusing Ourselves to Death", Neil Postman reminds us of Aldous Huxley's warning from Brave New World.  Postman writes, "When a popula...

A Message to the international community from an INDIAN!

                      Message to the international community, Greetings to the global community, Let me begin by stating a historical truth that Pakistan, a nation of today, is an artificial construct, lacking any genuine ethnic, cultural, national, or civilizational roots in history. It was created by the British as a buffer state, resulting in 77 years of conflict, unrest, the creation of millions of Jihadis, and the introduction of the term "Jihad" into the global lexicon. Pakistan has persistently utilized religious hatred and extremism to keep Afghanistan unstable, fuel internal conflicts, and push back against secular and progressive forces, leading to the radicalization of the region. Pakistan's military, deep state, and the dominant Muslim Punjabis have followed a comprehensive policy to incite communal tensions and create religious differences, labeling Indian Muslims as inferior and instigating riots to harm India's natio...

why country needs central medical protection Act?

  Why the country’s medical fraternity urging the GOI for an exclusive crime deterrent central medical protection ACT? The demand for an exclusive central protection law for doctors and allied healthcare workers in India, despite the existence of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and the Information Technology (IT) Act, stems from persistent gaps in addressing violence against healthcare professionals and hospital property. Below is a detailed explanation of why such a law is deemed necessary:     1. Inadequacy of Existing Laws    - Generalized Provisions in BNS and BNSS: The BNS and BNSS, which replaced the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), provide general penal provisions for crimes like assault, grievous hurt, or property damage. However, these laws do not specifically address the unique vulnerabilities faced by healthcare workers, such as attacks by patients’ relatives during emot...
