PUNE: Lack of doctors and proper health care in rural areas cannot be corrected by compromised health workers churned out by the proposed Bachelor of Rural Medicine and Surgery (BRMS) course feel experts, who add that such degree holders will in no way substitute MBBS doctors, thus denying the rural population a right to good health.
“On one hand the health care in metros and big cities is quite advanced. On the other, rural areas where 60 per cent of the Indian population resides does not even have basic health care (primary care). This gap, however, cannot be filled by compromised health workers in the name of BRMS. It is against the fundamental right of a citizen of India where every one should be provided with quality health care of similar standards at affordable cost,” said S Arulrhaj, president of the Commonwealth Medical Association a conglomeration of national medical associations of commonwealth countries.
Ashok Adhav, national president of the Indian Medical Association, said, “Factors like paucity of doctors, low doctor-population ratio (1.62 per 10,000 only), absence of doctors, lack of infrastructure facilities contribute to the absence of proper health care in rural areas. But this situation cannot be corrected by compromised health workers in the name of BRMS. The IMA strongly opposes this proposal.”
Former state president of the IMA Devendra Shirole said, “If the service of qualified doctors is denied to the rural population, early detection of complicated disease conditions and appropriate treatment will be hit.”
Meanwhile, the 84th Central Council of the IMA said it is committed to the health of rural Indians and also unanimously and strongly objects to the proposal to introduce the BRMS course, which is a compromised MBBS course, to take care of the rural population of India. “As per article 14 of the Indian constitution, all citizens of India are equal, whether rural or urban. The IMA demands that rural Indians be offered the same standard of health care which is offered to urban Indians. We appeal to the Ministry of Health, Government of India, not to dilute the standards of health care for the rural people. The IMA is of the opinion that only an MBBS degree should be the basic allopathic medical qualification in the country,” said Adhav.
Arulrhaj suggested, “At least 25 seats need to be reserved in district medical colleges for candidates who will have to work in rural areas of their choice for the first five years, with annual recertifications. After the five years, they would be free to pursue a post-graduation degree, since, by that time, a second lot of rural doctors’ will come in.”
Adequate allowances, facilities like rural service allowances, proper free accommodation, education allowances for children, vehicle or vehicle allowances, appropriate reservation for education and employment for children, updation of knowledge, facility for interest-free personal loans etc. should be extended to doctors working in rural areas. Implementation of the Bhore committee recommendations of three-tier system of health delivery should also be done, said Arulrhaj.
Actually if we think about the lack of doctors brms is a good sort out of this problem ..but it is fact that they are compromised doctors.. But if we think that any qualified doctor wants nice metro life , no one wants to settle in rural areas.! So brms may be important tool in this regard..one another alternative for this problem is that govt. Have to attract Mbbs doctors by good package .good facilities . And govt. Should increase the seats of mbbs.
NATIONALIZE ALL THE PRIVATE MEDICAL COLLEGES & UPGRADE ALL EXISTING BAMS/BHMS/BUMS COLLEGES TO MBBS & PROVIDE UNIFORM MEDICAL DEGREE IN INDIA
We hereby request to
Hon,President of India,
Hon,Prime minister of India,
Hon, Health Minister of India
& All the Hon, MP’s from Rajyasabha & Loksabha
to seriously think on “Nationalization of Medical Education”…
1)Medical Education should be on the top of priority list of Govt of India..
Privatization of medical education started in 1953,
& now every big politician owns a Medical college & sugar factory.
those who cant own medical college, own BAMS or BHMS colleges..
management quota seats are literally sold.
Medical Education is now market, where those who have lot of money can get admissions
Truly worthy students are deprived from getting medical education, in this Bazar.
Those who invest money for education naturally tries to put out the invested money with interest, they are going to accept freebies & gifts from the Pharma companies, no matter MCI’s Ketan Desai bans it.
True Medical professional needs Empathy, Emotions & Ethics in his heart.
Privatization of Medical Education kept all these words into dictionary
2)Upgrade all the existing BAMS/BHMS/BUMS/BSMS colleges to MBBS & provide them with necessary infrastructure.
Existing BAMS/BHMS/BUMS/BSMS practitioners should be upgraded to MBBS by offering them refreshing course in medicine & pharmacology through CME centers at Taluka/Tehsil level.The CME centers at Taluka/Tehsil level should be provided with recent advances in technology like video conferencing.
3) Government’s job is to provide/ensure proper health care to it’s citizens & not to promote the different pathies, hence AYUSH dept. & CCIM & CCH should be scrapped.
& Uniform scientific medical syllabus should be offered in the Nation,Ayurveda,unani & siddha would be offered as optional subjects.as they have the Indian origin & should be considered as potential resource for research in main stream medicine.
Thanx with Regards

Health Ministry of India & MCI are planning to introduce new course,BRMS/BRHC for Rural Health..
This is the retrograde move..
The new course will benefit education barons rather than rural population..
It will create more problems to the already ailing Health Care System of India..
Here we have discussed the basic pathology & treatment options available for the disease of India’s Health Care System, in the post below..
Nationalize The Medical Education
National Integrated Medical Association
THIS BRMS COURSE IS APPROPRIATE FOR BSC NURSING , BPT, OR BDS AND NOT FOR CLASS 12.THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AS CLASS 12 IS VERY WRONG.WE ARE NOT GOING TO TEACH THE CLASS 12 STUDENTS FOR 51/2 YEARS BUT FOR MERELY 31/2 YEARS WHICH IS NOT AT ALL SUFFICIENT.EVEN AFTER LEARNING FOR 51/2 YEARS THE SUBJECT STILL LAGS ,ITS NOT OVER,THEN HOW CAN THE CLASS 12 GUY FINISH OF WITH THE THEORY AND PRACTICAL IN JUST A SMALL DURATION.IF WE WANT TO GIVE QUALITY HEALTH CARE AT LEAST SUBSTANDARD HEALTH CARE WE HAVE TO INTRODUCE PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY WELL VERSED WITH MEDICAL HEALTH.WE CANNOT COMPROMISE WITH THE HEALTH OF THE VILLAGE PEOPLE.AS BSC NURSING , BPT, OR BDS ARE LEARNING THE SAME AS A MBBS GRADUATE WITH SAME SUBJECTS AND WITH THE SAME SYLLABUS.I WOULD BETTER SAY THAT BDS AND BPT (PHYSIOTHERAPY) SHOULD BE GIVEN MORE SEATS.PHYSIOTHERAPY HAVE THE SAME SYLABII AS MBBS, ALSO THEY ARE HAVING 4 YEAR COURSE+ 6 MONTH INTERNSHIP.AND THEY CAN CATER THE NEED OF RURAL PEOPLE MUCH BETTER.THEY HAVE A VERY GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THE BASIC MEDICAL SUBJECTS ESPECIALLY ORTHOPAEDICS SO THAT ALWAYS BE A PLUS POINT.THE BDS HAVE MORE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT DENTAL CARE.SO EVEN THEY CAN BE A GOOD CHOICE.WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS BRMS COURSE IS JUST 31/2 YEARS.SO A PLUS TWO OR JUST CLASS 12 WONT BE ABLE TO COPE WELL.HE MIGHT PASS THE EXAM BUT WONT BE A CAPABLE,ITS NOT THE STUDENTS FAULT BUT THE COURSE DURATION IS VERY LESS.SO BETTER GIVE THE CHANCE TO ALREADY CLEARED MEDICAL STREAM GRADUATES
Dear all,
Medicien is a wast field i don’t think 10+2 student could be good health professional by doing a 3 1/2 course i.e BRMS——-My personal sugession .to the govt. is take other health professions like bams, bds, bpt, bums, bhms doctors for this program—-that will be good for both the people and govt.—on these professions there is no need of govt. to spend more many and time they need only practical knowledge and people will get a good doctor and also there will be no question of agitation/opposition from the medical doctors and the IMA————-And the great thing which will be that there will be an option (a bridge) for other health professionals to opt allophonic medicine as a career(as in other countries there are some options)The big thing will be there will be no quakry in India as the registered medical practitioners increase.
Think on it
Thanks to all
sir,
brms course is very appropriate to the pharmacy graduates only because they only study pharma related subjects along with that they study anatomy and physiology also .so every b.pharm students are eligible for brms course .please look into it for b.pharm candidates and give allocation.for example b.pharma students has to work either as medical rep or pharma company nowadays most of the medical shops do not have any d.pharm or b.pharm students working only 10th std and +2students only working in medical shop they dont know anything about medicine.so please let b.pharm students study BRMS course…..
