Respected Sir,
Sub: Suggestions regarding medical university
I am in favour of Common Medical University- because
Homeopathy is still in the beginning stage. We must have intense
research by utilising the chemistry, nano technology, pathology
etc in order to prove the scientificity. For that immense
research facilities with other systems of medicine and other
branches of science are inevitable, which we can
materialize, if only be the part of the very big
(comparing to proposed AYUSH university) health science
university.
We cannot stand alone. Study materials, books, syllabus etc are
more or less same as allopathic system of medicine. Separating
from the mainstream eventually leads to sterile the
development of our system in future. We have to develop
as a mainstream medicine rather than merely as an alternative
system of medicine.
The concept of AYUSH university is not available anywhere in
India. I strongly suspect that it is a move by allopaths to side
track our system from the proposed medical university. A
University means different courses under one roof. That strategy
is beneficial to patients also. A certificate
issued by AYUSH university have comparatively negligible value
than that of a common medical university as regards to job
opportunities and prospects in other areas and countries.
As per the proposal of Ayush University, the other systems that
come along with Homoeopathy are Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani and Sidha
which have their own cultural, traditional and philosophical
platform, which is quite different from our system. The higher
studies and research protocols constructed on the basis of above
methodology are nothing aspirable to us.
Moreover only a very few institutions and courses come under the
AYUSH University, which will become a hurdle for accomplishing
the approval of UGC like higher bodies, and the qualifications
awarded by the same may fail to be recognized by other
universities in the country.
Another thing is separating the Medical Sciences under different
headings may create unhealthy ego clashes among the systems,
which will lead to undesirable, unethical practices in the field
of Health Services.
Setting up of separate University means accomplishing all
infrastructures from top to bottom and demands a very huge
financial commitment. While considering the pathetic financial
position of our state, IHMA never think the proposal for a
separate university is a feasible one.
In the centre itself ayurveda people working out severe ego
problems and more than 95% of fund of AYUSH have been obtained
by them. So separate university along with these people may
create further problems.
I reliably know that more than 99% of homoeopaths in
Kerala are in favour of Common medical University. So a
proposal or decision in favour of AYUSH university may evoke
serious agitations and strike in Kerala.
So in the long term interest of homoeopathy I am humbly
requesting you to propose a common medical university.
Yours faithfully
