The Indian Medical Association (IMA) strongly opposed Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij’s proposal of teaching Ayurveda to MBBS students terming it as “Mixopathy” will backfire and put the nation’s health care delivery system into total doldrums.
“IMA in its statement said, Mixture of medical education to bring out compromised doctors will backfire on the nation and put its health care delivery system into total peril”.
The statement of the Minister of Health Anil Vij’s is unconstitutional, unfortunate, and unwarranted,” said IMA.
IMA has also advised, Ayurveda as an ancient medical science and would prefer to preserve its tenets and traditions in its purest form. Safeguarding the purity and legacy of Ayurveda will enrich our traditional medicine. Mixing of systems will ring the death knell of Ayurveda,” the association added.
