The Indian Medical Association (IMA) and junior doctors across the country
have voiced their concerns and opposition to the government’s recent
decision to allow paramedic training for Registered Medical Practitioners
(RMPs). This move is seen as a deviation from the established medical
education system and is being criticized for compromising patient safety
and healthcare standards. The IMA and junior doctors argue that paramedic
training requires rigorous and specialized education, which cannot be
equated with the existing qualifications of RMPs. They fear that this
decision may lead to a dilution of healthcare quality and pose risks to
patient well-being. The medical fraternity urges the government to
reconsider this move in the interest of public health and safety.
