Ayurvedic Doctors 'Trained Surgeons' At Par With Allopathic Ones: Centre

AYUSH Minister said there is nothing called "mixopathy", Ayurvedic doctors are trained surgeons
Panaji:
Union AYUSH Minister Shripad Naik today said there is no concept of "mixopathy", as claimed by a section of allopathic doctors, and asserted that ayurvedic practitioners are also trained to perform surgeries.
The idea behind allowing ayurvedic practitioners to perform medical surgeries and other functions is aimed at supporting the allopathic practice, Mr Naik told news agency Press Trust of India shortly before his discharge from the Goa Medical College and Hospital, where he was undergoing treatment after an accident.
To a question on the Indian Medical Association (IMA) opposing the Centre's decision to allow ayurvedic doctors to perform surgeries, Mr Naik said there is no term like "mixopathy".
