National Integrated Medical Association is looking after your professional interests, fighting for your rights and endeavouring to give you your legitimate place in the country's Health Plans. If you are unaware of the work of NIMA, here is a brief account for your information.
The first major attempt was of the establishment of National Medical Association of India in 1947, which soon spread its activities in northern states of the country. From 1953 onwards other Associations of Integrated practitioners were established in the states of Bombay, Mysore, and Madras, etc., with the names as Bombay State Integrated Medical Association (later Maharashtra State Integrated Medical Association and Gujrat State Integrated Medical Association), Integrated Associations of Mysore, etc.
The attempt to bring all these associations together, materialised in 1966 at 5th AIC of NIMA Conference under the Presidentship of Dr Panna Lal Varshney and at the 7th All India Conference of NIMA held at Bhopal on 1.2.1969 the Constitution of the National Integrated Medical Association was adopted and thus NIMA was born. The Association was registered under the Societies' Registration Act XXI of 1860 and the Public Trust Act, in 1971 at Mumbai.
Formed all-India organisation of the Integrated Medical Community in the country. Association nominees could win the election to the state Boards and Faculties in Maharastra, Punjab and the election to the CCIM.
The fight of integrated practitioners to practice modern medicine was established in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab, HP, MP, and West Bengal etc. Today, in most of the states we are recognised as registered medical practitioners under the Drug Rules, 1945.
The Association continuously strived for getting the Indian Medicine Central Council Bill properly amended since its introduction in the parliament and launched a big agitation against the injustice done to the integrated practitioners in the Bill, which won with the help of a number of advocates and friends in the Parliament of India. Though the protogonists of Shuddha Ayurveda with the support of the Health Minister of the Centre succeeded in withholding the amendments in our favour, the Association did not give up the fight and continued to pursue the issue with the Government, the Central Council of Health and the Central Council of Indian Medicine and as a result, has succeeded in getting many resolutions regarding the separate categorisation of the Integrated qualifications in the IMCC Act, passed in the meeting of the Central Council of Health and Central Council of Indian Medicine.
The Association stands for the establishment of the National System of Medicine by fusion of the best from our ancient Indian and Western system of Medicine, to suit the needs of the people of this country. The Association submitted a memorandum on the National Medical Education Policy and the National Health Policy to the Central Government and pleaded for its adoption in the Health Ministers Conference.
