IMA Mahapanchayat: Over 20,000 medical fraternities are expected in Capital on March 25


New Delhi: lndian Medical Association,representative of modern medicine doctors of lndia has been sensitizing the law makers and the common people on the issues concerning the Medical Profession. The issues of medical profession are in fact the issues of Health Care that can affect the patient care and safety directly. 

Thousands of doctors from all parts of the country will converge in lndira  Gandhi indoor Stadium, New Delhi on 25th March, 2018 for Doctors Mahapanchayat convened by IMA.Over 20,000 medical fraternities are expected at the venue, All the issues concerning the medical profession and healthcare Will be discussed and the further course of action will be decided.


Medical students from all the medical colleges of the country will join 
Doctor's Mahapanchyat. They will also hold a separate ChatraSansad in Indira Gandhi Stadium, New Delhi at 4:00 pm on 24th March, 2013. 


Though the Parliamentary Standing Committee report on NMC bill has attempted to bring in some amendments in the bill, but they are cosmetic in nature and do not address the core issues in NMC bill. This report has created more problems than it has solved. The medical fraternity remains aggrieved.

Addressing the Media, Dr. Ravi Wankhedkar, National President, IMA said, “IMA believes that not only anything has changed substantially, the bill has actually become worse. Backdoor entry of crosspathy has only taken the state route. Floodgates have been opened on bridge course to AYUSH to include non-doctors as well. To that extent the PSC report is deceptive as well. Now the bill goes one step further to legalise quackery. Unscientific mixing of systems and empowering non doctors to practice medicine is a measure inviting disaster and a crime against humanity. All this is being done when 63000 MBBS doctors graduate every year and there are less than 3500 vacancies in PHCs. Rural health seem to be only an excuse. The real intent is mixing of systems. This intent of the Government is malafide and will cost thousands of human lives. Concerns also have been raised that traditional systems will be destroyed."
