IMA opposes Clinical Establishment Bill

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: The Indian Medical Association has strongly opposed the Clinical Establishment Bill, to be introduced in the current session of Parliament, reasoning that health is a State subject and that each State should be allowed to decide how to run its clinical establishments.

Pointing out that the States have their own regulatory Acts to run clinical establishments accordingly to their own conditions and needs, IMA Secretary-General S. N. Misra said: “Imposition of this Bill is out of the purview of the Central Government and through this Bill what the Government wants to do is to tighten the noose of the practitioners of modern system of medicine. The proposed Commission has 18 members, out of which the practitioners of modern medicine are only three .”
