Doctors Demand Withdrawal of Maharashtra Medical Council order permitting CCMP-Trained Homeopaths to Practice Allopathy

Strongly opposing the Maharashtra Medical Council’s decision to allow CCMP-trained homeopathic practitioners to practice modern allopathic medicine and register with the council, senior resident doctors in Maharashtra have urged the council to immediately withdraw the notification. They asserted that such a move is “medically indefensible, ethically unacceptable, and legally questionable.”

In a letter submitted to the MMC Administrator, the Maharashtra Senior Resident Doctors Association (MSRDA) called the decision “unprecedented” and stated that its implementation would severely dilute the scientific integrity of modern medicine. They argued that the move is an affront to thousands of allopathic doctors who have dedicated over a decade of their lives to intense, evidence-based medical training, from MBBS to post-graduation and beyond.

Allowing practitioners trained in a fundamentally different medical system to transition into modern medicine through such a shortcut is, according to the association, reckless and dangerously irresponsible. Therefore, they demanded the urgent revocation of the decision to prevent irreversible damage to Maharashtra’s medical ecosystem and to protect the safety of millions of citizens.
