New Delhi, Jan 29 (PTI) Plans for launching a short-term bachelor of medicine course today drew flak from NHRC and Indian Medical Association who feared that the move might produce quacks.
"By doing so (launching the course), government will itself be producing quacks. We already have half-baked medical professionals in rural areas and if government also starts producing such half-baked doctors what will happen to the country?" NHRC member PC Sharma posed at a meeting of state health secretaries here.
The Union Health Ministry is contemplating to launch a three and half year duration's 'Bachelor of Rural Medicine and Surgery' (BRMS) course for students of rural areas to raise a a dedicated corps of medical practitioners who would serve in the villages.
