The Junior Doctors’ Association of Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in solidarity with the Indian Medical Association staged a protest against Mixopathy.
The nation-wide strike has been called to protest against the Centre’s decision to allow post-graduate Ayurvedic doctors to conduct surgeries.
The medical services in Assam will also be interrupted except for emergency services and COVID care services.
The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has issued a call for the withdrawal of non-COVID and non-essential services for 12 hours on Friday. The strike started at 6:00 am and will continue till 6:00 pm today.
Speaking to the media, Rajan Sharma, National President, IMA said, “The purity and identity of Ayurveda stand equally challenged. The council prescribed modern medicine textbooks and Ayurveda institutions practiced surgery with the assistance of modern medical doctors cannot be reason enough to legitimize advance into the control and competencies of current medicine.
The emergency services such as casualty, labor rooms, and emergency surgeries won’t be impacted by the strike as they are exempt from participating in the strike. ICU and ICCU services are also exempted.
