Phony Ayurvedic practitioners on loose
The sudden raise in the number of Ayurvedic practitioners around the country has resulted in the intensity of raids by the Ayurvedic Medical Council as stated by Ayurveda Commissioner P S K R Weerakoon. Information of about 5000 phony Ayurvedic doctors was received around the country.
The doctors should be registered under two categories namely Registration of a physician who possess medical qualifications and registration of traditional physicians. Ayurveda doctors must be registered under the AMC which it is attached to the Ayurvedic Department and about 13000 doctors are already registered under it and another 9000 special doctors in the field have also been identified.
In case of doubt, the public can inform about the Ayurveda doctors to the AMC on 011 5672906 as stated by Weerakoon.
