The High Court has called for alternative medical therapies such as Homeopathy, Unani and Ayurveda to be integrated into the healthcare system under the national health policy.
The court also recommended the formation of a separate ministry to oversee alternative treatment methods and directed the authorities to grant recognition to educational institutions and certificates related to alternative medicine education to ensure quality.
The ruling came in response to a writ petition by practitioners of alternative therapies seeking directions on the use of the title of ‘doctor’ by holders of degrees in Homeopathy and Unani and the formation of a separate body to regulate the field of alternative medicine.
