SC allows AYUSH docs to prescribe govt-approved immunity boosters
New Delhi: 16.12.2020
The Supreme Court on Tuesday held that qualified AYUSH doctors can prescribe government-approved tablets or mixtures as immunity boosters for Covid-19 patients as per the directions in the March 6 order of the Ministry.
A bench headed by Justice Ashok Bhushan, however, said these doctors cannot prescribe or advertise them as a cure for Covid-19.
The order of the apex court was passed on an appeal filed against the August 21decision of the Kerala HC holding that AYUSH doctors shall not prescribe tablets or mixtures as cures for Covid-19, but only as immunity boosters. The Kerala HC order had asked the state government to use alternative medicine only as an immunity booster. AGENCIES
