Doctors in many Indian hospitals, closed out-patients departments and wore black arm bands on Friday to protest against a Government decision to allow practitioners of traditional medicine (Ayurveda) carry out minor surgical procedures.
Ayurveda is a centuries-old traditional system of healing with herbal concoctions and massages that finds mention in ancient Hindu texts and is still widely practiced in India. The countrywide strike was called by the Indian Medical Association (IMA), saying, “We stood up for India, lost 700 doctors to COVID-19. Your turn now to save modern medicine from mixopathy,” the IMA said in a newspaper advertisement on Friday.
