IMA WRITES A LETTER TO SPORTS MINISTER KIREN RIJIJU ON RELAY HUNGER STRIKE

New Delhi: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) is on relay hunger strike against the CCIM notification allowing Ayurvedic doctors to perform 58 surgical procedures. IMA has written a letter to Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju who is handling Ayush as an additional charge. Rijiju had earlier given answers on allowing surgery training for Ayurvedic doctors.

On permitting trained post graduate practitioners of Ayurveda to do surgeries, Rijiju had replied: “The CCIM notification is specific to the specified surgical procedures (58 procedures) and does not allow AYUSH people to take up any other type of surgery.” The IMA, on its part, had said, “Surgery is complex as procedure. It is never a straight line course from start to end. There are additional surgeries and procedures which erupt during or post-surgery.” IMA has also requested to withhold the CCIM notification.
