Council for Indian systems of medicine serves notice on hepatologist
The Kerala State Medical Council for Indian Systems of Medicine has served a notice on a liver-specialist doctor, who has been accused of ‘defaming’ Ayurveda and calling the traditional branch of medicine a ‘pseudoscience’.
A letter dated January 31 pointed out that the council referred the issue of penal action against Cyriac Abby Philips, hepatologist at a Kochi-based private hospital, to the ethics committee of the Travancore-Cochin Medical Councils (TCMC) based on the orders from the Union Ministry of AYUSH. The council for Indian Systems of Medicine in TCMC is now seeking a reply from Dr. Philips as decided by the ethics committee.
