When I was operated 10 years back on open heart surgery at one of the famous private Hospital in South Goa Margao, I have noticed that Ayurvedic and homeopathic doctors were treating me in Post Surgery ward and no allopatic doctor found during night rounds. Goan nurses were also not seen as hardly any Goan nurse was available even in day time. Now, since the news report in these days in Navhind Times is quite relevant on QUACKS and we hear different kind of stories on various types of quacks moving around or establishing their clinics in Goa, will never be solved until the law is enacted in Parliament. I am surprised when we have a most competent Allopatic Minister of Health Dr. Harsh Vardhan could not able to bring down the number of quacks, in the contrary the numbers have risen up. Navhind Times raised many questions in today's ( 14th July 2015) issue and questionnaire was on " Political will needed to crack down on quacks" and one of the question was raised is " What about the Hospitals engaging services of ayurvedic and homeopathic doctors?" and the answer was ------ the bill has been stuck up at the Law Dept for more than a year now. This is a "joke" when the Health Minister qualified on allopatic degree could not take action or do anything, I am sure in future no other Minister of Heath will be able to solve this issue of quacks in the country especially in Goa.
