HomoeopathyIn a move that would come as a shot in the arm for the 62,000 homoeopathy doctors in Maharashtra, the state cabinet has allowed homoeopaths to prescribe allopathy medicine provided they complete a year-long course in pharmacology. While most of the homoeopaths have welcomed the decision, it has not gone down well with allopaths. Also Read - Ganesh Chaturthi 2020: 4 reasons an eco-friendly Ganesha is good for you

We spoke to Dr Jayesh Lele, secretary of IMA-Maharashtra asking him whether such a move would put patients at risk. ‘Yes, definitely. It will put patients at risk. Allopathic doctors get familiar with pharmacology all through their four and a half year course. How can a homeopath learn it in one year? If something happens to a patient, then will the government take responsibility’, he said.

What does this mean for you?

It means that even homeopathy doctors can prescribe allopathy drugs. However, people will still have to go to allopathic doctors for operations.

Why was the decision taken?

The state government said that the decision was taken keeping in mind the shortage of rural doctors in the state. Also, some homeopaths did not have as good a job as they had an education, and this move will ensure that they are better rewarded.

Is the decision good news for the science of homeopathy?

Even though, the move may benefit some homeopaths it might lower the perception of people towards homeopathy. ‘It is a retrograde move. Leading homeopaths have gone on record saying such a move would kill their science.’, Dr Kishore Taori, of Maharashtra Medical Council told TOI. No other state has allowed it.

Ayurvedic and Unani doctors are already allowed to presrcibe allopathic drugs under the Maharashtra Medical Council Act of 1965 and the Drug & Cosmetics Act, 1941.
