🚨BMS Doctor Registration temporarily Suspended

BHMS Doctors’ MMC Registration Temporarily Suspended Medical Education Department Awaits Final Court Verdict Mumbai | Mumbai Professors News Desk The registration of BHMS-CCMP doctors with the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) has become a major issue in Maharashtra’s medical sector. The Medical Education Department has reportedly decided to keep the MMC registration process for BHMS-CCMP doctors on hold until the court delivers its final verdict in the matter. What is the issue? BHMS stands for Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery. The controversy relates to BHMS doctors who have completed the Certificate Course in Modern Pharmacology (CCMP) and their eligibility to receive registration under the Maharashtra Medical Council for practising modern medicine. Several medical organisations, including the Indian Medical Association (IMA) and the Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD), have opposed the registration process. Their primary contention is that BHMS doctors should not be permitted to practise modern medicine merely on the basis of the CCMP qualification while the matter remains under judicial consideration. Government’s Earlier Decision The Maharashtra Government had earlier taken steps towards creating a separate registration mechanism/register under the MMC for BHMS-CCMP-qualified doctors. The move triggered strong opposition from sections of the medical fraternity, with concerns being raised regarding the scope of practice, patient safety, medical regulation and the distinction between different systems of medicine. MARD and IMA Opposition The issue has also led to protests and agitation by resident doctors and medical organisations. The organisations opposing the move have maintained that any decision regarding the registration and practice rights of BHMS-CCMP doctors should be taken only after considering the legal and regulatory implications. What Happens Next? For now, the final position regarding MMC registration of BHMS-CCMP doctors will depend on the court’s decision. The outcome could have significant implications for: * Registration of BHMS-CCMP doctors * Their scope of medical practice * The use of modern pharmacological treatment * Regulation of different systems of medicine in Maharashtra * Future healthcare policies concerning cross-system medical practice The matter remains under judicial consideration, and further clarity is expected after the court delivers its final verdict.
