Chennai, Dec 11 : A majority of Indian Medical Association (IMA) member doctors and corporate hospitals in Tamil Nadu are participating in the 12-hour withdrawal of medical services on Friday to protest against Centre s policy on mixopathy or mixing of allopathy and ayurveda, said an official. We have about 45,000 doctors as our members and about 5,000 hospitals in Tamil Nadu. They have withdrawn their services, other than emergency and Covid-related services, to demand the withdrawal of Central Council of Indian Medicine s (CCIM) notification dated November 19 on PG ayurveda education, National Education Policy 2020 and the four committees set up by Niti Aayog for integration of healthcare systems, AK Ravikumar, Secretary, IMA-Tamil Nadu, told IANS.
