The National Commission for Homoeopathy has issued an advisory urging all stakeholders, media organisations and members of the public to exercise responsibility while making statements concerning Homoeopathy and duly registered homoeopathic practitioners.
Taking cognizance of the instances of derogatory, defamatory, misleading and unverified statements being circulated through print, electronic, digital and social media platforms, the Commission highlighted the need for factual accuracy and responsible communication in public discourse.
The Chairperson of the commission Dr Tarkeshwar Jain stated that Homoeopathy is a legally recognised system of medicine under the National Commission for Homoeopathy Act, 2020.
He said that homoeopathic medicines are regulated under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.
Dr Jain noted that undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Homoeopathy are conducted under a structured academic framework prescribed by the Commission, with admissions through NEET-qualified candidates.
Reiterating the Commission’s commitment to protecting the dignity, integrity and lawful standing of Homoeopathy and registered practitioners, Dr. Jain said that appropriate action, including legal recourse wherever necessary, may be taken against deliberate acts of spreading baseless, misleading or defamatory statements.
