Avoid disparity between branches of Ayush

strike (2)NAGPUR: The Orange City Homeopaths Association of India (OCHAI) has demanded equal status and recognition as doctors from all other branches of medicine under the Indian system of medicine.

The association claims that the Maharashtra government is discriminating against homeopaths as compared to ayurvedic, yoga, unani and siddha doctors; not just by giving them lower posts and designations but also much lesser salary as compared to others, especially ayurvedic doctors.

The state is planning full time posts of director, assistant director, in charge doctor, resident doctor under grade A or class I officers for ayurvedic doctors, but there is no grade for homeopaths. In fact, homeopaths are being recruited on contractual basis on a consolidated salary of 14,000 whereas salaries of ayurvedic doctors would range between 22,000 to 52,000.

In every subdistrict hospital with 100 beds, the state is proposing 11 doctors of Ayush – four ayurvedic, 3 homeopathic, two unani, one yoga and one naturopathy. “But we are demanding equal and more number of ayurvedic and homeopathic doctors,” said Dr Patil.
