Supreme Court Seeks Government Response on AYUSH Doctors' Practitioner Status and 1954 Act Review

The Supreme Court has issued notices to the Union Ministries of Law, Health, and Ayush regarding a Public Interest Litigation (PIL). The PIL seeks to declare AYUSH doctors as 'registered medical practitioners' under the law, similar to allopathic doctors. It also requests an expert committee to review and update the 1954 Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, arguing current provisions impose blanket bans on advertisements for certain diseases, potentially limiting public access to information about treatments.
