“No to Crosspathy, No to Mixopathy” banners carried by IMA-affiliated doctors of Cuttack branch in a protest rally on Tuesday against the central government’s gazette notification which was issued in November to merge Homeopathy & Ayurveda with Allopathy.

Dr. Janmajeya Mohapatra, Former secretary, IMA said “Gazette notification of the Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) states that Ayurvedic & Homeopathy will be merged with Allopathy. Following a mixopathy and after imparting of 2 years of training to the future medical students, they can conduct surgery in important departments as Gynaecology, Orthopaedics, ENT & Dental.”

He also stated that by this decision, only general public will suffer. Will the leaders who have taken this decision prefer to undergo a surgery under Homeopathic & Ayurvedic surgeons.

He warned that they have decided to close all the private hospitals on December 12 sparing their emergency and Covid-19 services.
