New Delhi: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Monday targeted Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan for supporting Patanjali's coronil. Let us know that Coronil was relaunched for the purpose of treating coronavirus, although the World Health Organization (WHO) has reacted to Patanjali's claim. IMA said that according to the Code of the Medical Council of India, which is binding on every modern medical doctor, no doctor can promote any medicine. However, it is surprising that the Health Minister, himself a modern medical doctor, was found promoting the medicine.

The IMA said that the spread of an unscientific drug made in the presence of the country's Health Minister in a wrong and concocted manner, which was later rejected by the WHO, is an insult to the entire country. The association has questioned the ethics of the Union Health Minister for his presence as a doctor and health minister in a program of Ayurvedic drug firm Patanjali run by Yoguru Ramdev.

The association referred to an article under the National Medical Commission (erstwhile MCI) that does not allow a physician to promote a drug. The IMA stated that under section 6: 1: 1, a doctor cannot give approval, recommendation, endorsement, certificate, report, or statement in respect of medicine to any person with his name, signature, whether compensation. For or for any other purpose.
