KOCHI: Homeopathic doctors can not only dispense preventive medicine for Covid-19 but they can also provide add-on or adjuvant medicines for Covid positive patients, along with their standard allopathic treatment, the high court has held.
The ruling was given by Justice N Nagaresh after considering a petition by homeopathic doctor Jayaprasad Karunakaran of Thampanoor in Thiruvananthapuram through advocate VT Madhavanunni. He had challenged the health department’s threat that action would be taken under the Disaster Management Act if he treats Covid patients.
After considering the rulings by the Supreme Court and a high court division bench and the circular issued by Ministry of AYUSH, the court arrived at four conclusions.
