Should homeopathy practitioners receive registration to prescribe modern medicine after additional training?
Resident doctors across Maharashtra have launched an indefinite statewide strike opposing the proposed BHMS-CCMP Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) registration policy. Medical organizations argue the move could compromise patient safety and weaken the scientific standards of modern medicine, while supporters believe it could help improve healthcare access in underserved areas.
Emergency services will continue initially, but OPDs, elective procedures, routine duties, and academic activities have been suspended, with the possibility of a complete withdrawal of services if the deadlock continues.

Do you think expanding prescribing rights through additional training can improve healthcare access, or should modern medicine remain restricted to MBBS-qualified doctors?
