“Indian Medical Association is giving immediate directives to all the 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.” Says Dr J A Jayalal, President, IMA
“Though there are many systems of medicine, Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani etc., modern medicine has evolved as a system of medicine adopted a system of medicine used by almost 96% of Indian population based on sustained research & constant up gradation. We welcome & propose that all our traditional systems should strive hard & make themselves more people-centered & evidence-based. Now there is a shift in the government policy; instead of promoting the systems, a new method of Mixopathy, in which systems which are mutually unrelated in principles & mode of Operandi are integrated together as one system.” Says the statement given by IMA
