Summary:
By completing a six-month bridge course, AYUSH practitioners will be licensed for practising allopathy which itself is a counterfeit for allopathic doctors. Bridge course to join other medical sciences into allopathy will only develop half-baked doctors prescribing allopathic medicines and cause a decline in the quality of treatment. To fulfil the deficit of doctors, allowing bridge course for AYUSH students will result in poor healthcare services. Ayurveda widely differs from modern medication and treatments should be done separately which is contraindicated in the NMC Bill as well. The doctor-patient relationship is already on a low ebb, and it will continue with the current form of the proposed NMC Bill..
