The IMA has asked how the Minister of Health, Dr. Harsh Vardhan, can promote the wrongly fabricated, unscientific product to the country.
Patanjali Ayurveda of yoga guru Baba Ramdev said that his coronil tablet (Coronil) has received a certificate from the Ministry of AYUSH as an adjunct drug in the treatment of COVID-19 . The company's tablet has got the certification under the certification scheme of the World Health Organization (WHO). Patanjali had announced a certificate from the Ministry of AYUSH for coronil in the presence of Union Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan and Dr Nitin Gadkari. After which a new controversy started. The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has condemned it. The IMA raised the question how the Health Minister can promote the wrongly fabricated, unscientific product to the country.
Following the coronil launch by Baba Ramdev , the WHO clarified in a tweet that the organization has not reviewed or certified any conventional medicine for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19. The IMA said that the lie spoken about WHO certification for a drug launched in the presence of the Health Minister who is a doctor himself is shocking. The IMA issued a statement saying that the health minister should answer this to the nation.
The IMA asked how reasonable and reasonable it is to be the Health Minister of India to issue such false estimates to the whole country. Being the Minister of Health, how appropriate it is for the people of the whole country to issue such false fabricated unscientific product. Being the Minister of Health, how ethical it is to promote the product in unethical, wrong and wrong ways all over the country. As a health minister and a doctor, it is so ethical to promote unscientific products before the citizens of the country. The IMA said that the wrong and fabricated launch of an unscientific drug by the Health Minister across the country and which the WHO rejects is disrespectful to the people of the country and it is to deceive the people. IMA asked that if coronil is really effective in preventing corona, then why is the government spending 35 thousand crores on vaccination.
