Patiala’s medical fraternity came forward on IMA call for save healthcare India movement

Health of nation depends on the health of health care systems. Though there are many systems of medicine, Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani etc., the modern medicine has evolved as a system of medicine adopted and used by almost 96% of Indian population based on sustained research and constant up gradation. Now there is shift in the government policy; as evidenced in the National education policy 2020, CCIM notification dated 20/11/2020 and the committees constituted by NITI Aayog for this purpose. We oppose strongly the proposal to make single doctor practicing all systems together. IMA supports poly Pathy but not Mixopathy and Kitchadification of health care systems. IMA is constrained to intensify the agitation as the steps towards implementing Mixopathy are not being taken back. Indian Medical Association has given directives to all members across the country to start ‘SAVE HEALTHCARE INDIA MOVEMENT’. Under this National movement, IMA will launch massive awareness drive across the country as this is the clear threat to safety of healthcare of people. PAN INDIA RELAY HUNGER STRIKE – IMA members and Modern Medicine Doctors cross the Country have started relay hunger strike from February 1, 2021 till February 14, 2021. Members of IMA Patiala today sat on hunger strike and again 11th Feb Thursday from 09:00am-05.00pm Medical college campus. All specialty associations across the country will join the strike through Federation of Medical Associations under aegis of IMA. Dental Association also shall join this National Movement, as also various associations from different countries. IMA has instructed its Medical Students’ Network (MSN), Junior Doctors’ Network (JDN), IMA Women’s’ Wing, IMA Hospital Board, In-service Doctors, Medical Colleges to participate & construct this massive National Movement.
