Is allowing Ayurvedic doctors to perform surgery legally and medically tenable?
Context
Is allowing non-allopathic doctors to perform surgery legally and medically tenable?
Can short-term training equip them to conduct surgeries and will this dilute the medicine standards in India?
Will non-allopathic doctors who have undergone training be restricted to practise in rural areas having poor doctor-patient ratios?
With allopathic surgeons often unwilling to practise in rural areas, how can this problem be solved?
Is it sensible to allow Ayurvedic surgeons to only assist allopathic surgeons, rather than perform surgeries themselves?
Can this lead to substandard care?
