Continuing with its drive to streamline the country’s medical system, the Niti Aayog is expected to recommend scrapping of two more institutions — the Central Council of Homoeopathy (CCH) and the Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM).
A senior government official told that the Aayog is working on two new bills suggesting ways to replace the two statutory bodies under the health ministry, which govern higher education in homoeopathy and Indian systems of medicine including ayurveda.
A draft bill suggesting creation of an all-new body to replace the decades old statutory bodies is ready, but a final decision will be taken up by a Niti Aayog vice-chairman Arvind Panagariya-led panel set up to suggest sweeping reforms in the department of Ayush under the health ministry.
