Kerala Doctors to launch stir against Government Order |
KOTTAYAM.JUNE.20: A government order
(GO) which came out the other day relaxing the norms to enable
unqualified homoeopathy and traditional Ayurveda Practitioners
in the Malabar region and traditional Siddha practitioners in
the Travancore- Cochin region to continue with their vocation,
has evoked instant protest from qualified hands. The controversial
GO ( MS 145/09 dated June 6, 2009) ensures that mandatory registration
is not needed for anyone who had attained 21 years, within a cut-off
period of November 2, 1987 and who had been practising traditional
systems in the specified regions ‘without any complaints
from the part of the general public’.
The emerging situation is an affront to the thousands
of doctors in various streams strenuously coming out of regular
medical colleges in the state every year by gaining admissions
with high score in Plus-II overcoming the highly competitive entrance
hurdle. The situation also poses a threat to quality medicare
and creates a chaotic quacks’ roaming situation, warned
the functionaries of Homeo SasthraVedi at a news conference here
on Tuesday.
Also, the content of the GO clearly goes against Indian Medicine
Central Council Act, 1970, which bars unqualified hands from practising
any stream of medicine, they added.
Already in the homeo front alone, an estimated 18,000
unqualified hands are there in the state, most of them in the
Malabar region, against a total 12,000 qualified doctors, pointed
out Vedi chairman Dr T N Parameswara Kurup, general secretary
Dr S Sarith Kumar and middle zone secretary Dr Binoy S Vallabhasseri.
Granting licence for medical profession on the basis of age without
considering qualification is unheard of in any state.
There is every reason to believe that large-scale corruption has
taken place in an apparent deal to facilitate the GO, they alleged
and added that the matter would be taken up at all levels and
an agitation would be launched against it.

Madras High court reserves order on dress code for women students |
|
CHENNAI.JUNE.16:
The Madras High Court has reserved orders on a petition
filed by an internee V.Kamalam, Venkateswara Homoeopathy
Medical College challenging the dress code that all women
undergoing the one-year internship training were required
to wear only sarees.
She sought a direction to the management of
Venkateswara Homoeopathic Medical College on the city
outskirts to permit her to attend the internship wearing
salwar kameez or kurta or churidar with a duppatta.She
said that from November 11 last she was not being permitted
to continue her internship, which commenced on October
4, for refusing to wear a saree.She had passed the Bachelor
of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery at the same institution
and had applied for internship at the same college which
was granted to her by the Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University,
Chennai. She also sought a court direction forbearing
the college from imposing the ‘non prescribed dress
code’ claiming it was discriminatory and a violation
of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution. She said that
she had tried to explain to the college authorities that
she had never used a saree, but to no avail.
Pointing out that since its establishment
the college had laid down a dress code for men and women
students undergoing internship, the college Principal
in his counter affidavit submitted that the rule was being
strictly followed by all such students, denying the charge
of discrimination.
Justice K Venkataraman reserved the orders
yesterday, after a counter-affidavit filed by the institution,
defending its Saree-only dress code for women interns
at its college. At the time of arguments, Justice Venkataraman
asked the petitioner’s woman counsel, that ‘your
are also wearing saree and attending the court’.
