Kochi-based doctor accused of defaming AYUSH
The Ayurveda Medical Association of India (AMAI) has filed complaints to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan against a Kochi-based doctor accusing him of defaming AYUSH. The letter by Sadath Dinakar, general secretary, AMAI, claimed that Cyriac Abby Philips, hepatologist with a private hospital in Kochi, had tried to defame Ayurveda in a video uploaded on a YouTube channel on June 21. Dr. Dinakar alleged that Dr. Philips had called AYUSH Department ‘unscientific’. Dr. Philips also mentioned that immunity boosters given for COVID-19 by the AYUSH Ministry could damage the liver cells or were hepatotoxic. “The video said that 34 of the 1,440 patients who had consulted Dr. Philip are having liver-related diseases due to the consumption of Ayurvedic drugs. He even defamed companies with Good Manufacturing Practices certificate in the Ayurveda field by claiming that they promote quackery,” the letter said.
