| BUMS, Ayurvedic, ISM doctors practice allopathic system in rural hospitals of valley | | 'Authorities playing with the lives of patients to hide their fault' | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Mar 27: In blatant violation of the norms the doctors possessing degrees in Unani, Ayurvedic or Homeopathic system of medicines are practising the allopathic system in the hospitals of the valley at the cost of the heath of gullible patients. This illegal practice by the doctors is going on mostly in the hospitals of rural areas.
Reports and official sources said that these doctors have been indulging in this practice in almost all the sub-district hospitals (SDHs) and primary health centers (PHCs) of rural areas at the cost of the lives of the patients.
"Since the doctors holding MBBS refuse to go to the rural areas and the government to evade the public cry over the shortage of medical staff in these hospitals is engaging the doctors possessing degrees in other systems of medicine there," a top official of the health department told Early Times.
He said that due to the non-availability of Ayurvedic or Unani medicines in the rural markets these doctors prescribe the allopathic medicines to the patients with out caring a bit about their lives.
"These doctors know little about the formula, mode of action and dosage of the allopathice medicines so prescribing the same may prove disastrous for any patient any time," said a noted doctor with out wishing to be named. He cited an example of a five year old lie who had been suggested two injections of gantamycin (80 mg) a day by a BUMS doctor in a hospital in north Kashmir.
"Even more than 50 mgs of gantamycin to an adult a day can prove fatal to him but knowing little about the dosage of the drug the doctor had suggested 120 mgs of the injectable to a little kid a day. Had not the parents of the child met me on way before following the prescription of the doctor their child would have been in deep trouble," the doctor said.
Another doctor said that the authorities in order to hide their own fault turn a blind eye to the illegal practice of these doctors. "The authorities in order to hide their fault are toying with lives of the patients," said another doctor.
He said that a doctor holding degree in one medical system can not practice the other system of medicine as it amounts to offence. But in Kashmir authorities can replace the carpenter with a mason if it saves their skin," he rued. |
