The Indian Naturopathy and Yoga Graduates Medical Association (INYGMA) has demanded urgent intervention of the government to ban illegal acupuncture courses and practice.
Citing an incident in which a woman and her unborn child died after being denied effective medical treatment, INYGMA president Dinesh Kartha said that the government and society should be on alert to prevent a repeat of the incident.
Illegal acupuncture centres and courses are mushrooming in the State. Most of the people running such clinics do not have valid educational qualifications.
