Former Acting President, National Council for Homeopathy,
H.Dr Jawed Hussain Shah, has urged upon the concerned authorities to take
immediate notice of rampant irregularities in Homeopathy and the falling
standard of Homoeo education.
In a statement issued in Karachi on August 18, he called for
initiation of immediate action against all colleges providing sub-standard
education, conduct of sub-standard education and above all fake admissions.
He reiterated his demand that the authority for conducting
Homoeo examinations be with drawn from the Council and entrusted to some Board
or University to bring an end to ongoing irregularities and corruption.
He pointed out that the Homeo examinations which were due to
start from June 20, 2013 had to be delayed because of the in fight going on for
occupying the chairmanship of Examining Body of National Council of Homeopathy
and now these are expected to commence from August 20.
H.Dr Jawed Shah observed that the quality of examinations
has become sub-standard and non-transparent because of acting Registrar
and Acting Controller of Examination while the government-nominated Chairman
was not allowed to function by a section of people having vested interests.
He said that majority of Council members are those who owns
Homeopathic Medical colleges and are responsible for falling standard of
homeopathic education.
He demanded of all the Provincial authorities to setup
raiding teams to check use of unfair means during Homeo examinations as well as
the activities of ‘booty mafia.’
He said that those examination centres be sealed where
use of unfair means may be allowed and the colleges involved therein be
black-listed.
