Maharashtra Doctors Strike Over Registration of CCMP-Qualified Homeopathy Practitioners
The Maharashtra government has initiated conditional registration for BHMS homeopathy practitioners who completed the Certificate Course in Modern Pharmacology (CCMP) to practice allopathy, forming a committee to define their scope and ethical guidelines. The Indian Medical Association (IMA) and Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD) oppose this move, citing concerns over medical standards and patient safety. They conducted a 24-hour strike on August 4 and announced an indefinite strike starting August 5, suspending routine services but maintaining emergency care. The issue remains under judicial review.
