Maharashtra Delays BHMS-CCMP Doctor Registration Amid IMA Opposition and Court Hearing
The Maharashtra government has postponed the registration of BHMS practitioners with Certificate Course in Modern Pharmacology (CCMP) by the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC), following opposition from the Indian Medical Association (IMA) and protests by BHMS doctors. The government called a high-level meeting on July 28 to discuss the issue, delaying the registration process initially set for July 27. The IMA warned of a statewide medical service shutdown if registration proceeds before the Bombay High Court's pending judgment on the matter.
