Certain organisations misguiding govt: Sushruta Association
Responding to the Indian Medical Association (IMA) who are against the practice of surgery performed by Ayurvedic Post Graduates, the National Sushruta Association (NSA) said, “Adopting the logic of respected organisation, privilege to practice surgery should be the exclusive domain of Ayurvedic practitioners. There are lots of incidents where modern surgeries failed and an Ayurvedic surgical technique cures the diseases.”
In a notice, the NSA stated, “In India more than 400 Ayurveda Colleges are imparting Ayurveda Education and awarding BAMS Degree as per IMCC ACT 1970. Amongst these Ayurveda Colleges, 200 Colleges are imparting Post Graduation Education in different disciplines of Ayurveda including the surgical specialities. These colleges are monitored, regulated and permitted annually by the CCIM and Govt. of India for available facilities in the teaching and training in specialities.”
The association also supported the decision taken up by the Ministry of AYUSH and notified by the Central Council of Indian Medicine for allowing the concerned Post Graduate Ayurveda Surgical Specialist to perform a variety of General surgical, ENT, Ophthalmological and Dental Procedures.
Further, it also slammed the IMA who are misguding the mass. “Adopting the logic of respected organization, privilege to practice surgery should be the exclusive domain of Ayurvedic practitioners. There are lots of incidents where modern surgeries failed and an Ayurvedic surgical technique cures the diseases. Certain organizations are getting more anxious and trying to grab the attention of people using matters of other system of medicine there by misguiding the mass,” it said.
It added, “It is quite unfortunate to express that certain organizations merely acting as a government body creating lobby and misguiding the government and society without proper knowledge about Indian system of medicine by using scary terms like mix system, poaching modern medicine etc. They should understand they can’t create law, or they can’t disobey law laid by Indian constitution. The organizations should focus on reducing the cost of treatment for Indian population instead of commercializing Health System as a business. Numerous Allopathy Doctors may have inclination to protect Indian System of Medicine or integration of Health System.”
Also, the extensive knowledge of Pharmacology, Antibiotics, Anesthesia etc. is thoroughly detailed in the curriculum by the Central Council of Indian Medicine and the aforesaid is taught for the Ayurveda students. It feels immense delighted to express that there is Post graduate specialization in Anesthesia in Ayurveda. So, for strengthening the health care system of our nation as per honorable Prime Minister’s and Mahatma Gandhiji’s version, there should be an integrated approach. We believe it is our duty and responsibility to serve the nation by promoting the integrated approach under one umbrella. It is quite unethical to individualize the matters which may hamper the health care system of our nation.
It also said that if Sushruta has practiced and promoted surgery globally, the point of objection for surgical practice by Ayurveda Surgeons by the esteemed organization is still in muddle. “Every Indian has to be proud about our Indian Medical Surgical Heritage.It should not be a fight or rivalry between Ayurveda and other systems of medicine. The approach should complement each other. The best of both should be adopted in the interest of mankind. A perfect blend of Ayurveda and other systems of medicine is the need of the hour. That’s why our Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji announced “Ayurveda teaching and practice need induction of essential modern medical science and technology to meet the present day needs of the patients” on the occasion of Dhanwantari Divas -Ayurveda day on 12th Nov. 2020.
