TCMC finds 8 quacks practising traditional system in major Ayurveda hospitals, cases registered
In an exercise aimed at curbing quackery in Ayurveda system, a special crack team constituted by the Indian system of medicine (ISM) wing of the Travancore Cochin Medical Council (TCMC) conducted surprise checks in various Ayurveda hospitals and research centres in Kozhikodu district in Kerala.
The operation was undertaken based on 12 complaints received from various sources in the district and also from the district committee of Ayurveda medical association of India (AMAI). Regarding quackery, there is a judgment of the Kerala high court that the unqualified persons should not be allowed to practice traditional system of medicines anymore.
Eight unqualified persons claiming to be Ayurvedic doctors were found by the team and cases were registered against the quacks and the hospitals. Quacks were picked up from Samudra Ayurveda research centre at Vadakara, Vadakara Ayurvedic cooperative hospital, Ayurvedic clinic at Balussery and few other hospitals in Kozhikode. The raids on quackery will continue in other districts in the coming days.
