The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has slammed the Central Council of Indian Medicine, the regulatory body for the study and practice of Ayurveda in India, for allowing its practitioners to perform general surgery such as ophthalmology and dental procedure and called it 'khichadification' of medical education.
Dr Rajan Sharma, president, IMA, said the AYUSH ministry has issued a clarification claiming the technical terms and the modern developments are a common heritage of mankind. IMA rejects the clarification as deceptive camouflage of mixing the systems of medicine. "It is nothing but a blatant attempt at mixopathy and Khichadification of medical education and practice."
