Can BAMS Doctors Issue Medical & Fitness Certificates?

 




A Landmark Win for AYUSH: NCISM Mandates Air India to Accept Medical Certificates from BAMS/BUMS Doctors

​The landscape of healthcare in India is shifting toward true integration! A recent official notification from the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM) has sent waves through the medical community.

​What happened?

The NCISM has issued a formal directive to the Chairman of Air India, clarifying that practitioners of Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, and Sowa Rigpa (BAMS/BUMS/BSMS/BSRMS) are legally authorized to sign and authenticate medical or physical fitness certificates.

​Why this matters:

For too long, AYUSH practitioners faced hurdles in having their professional authority recognized by corporate entities. This directive, backed by the NCISM Act 2020 and a recent Calcutta High Court order, reaffirms that a "duly qualified medical practitioner" includes those from the Indian System of Medicine.

​This isn’t just about a certificate; it’s about professional equality and the legal right to practice medicine to the full extent of the law.

​Key Takeaways:

  • ​Legal Standing: Section 34 (1) of the NCISM Act 2020 entitles AYUSH doctors to sign medical documents required by any law.
  • ​Corporate Compliance: Major entities like Air India are now required to rectify their notifications to include AYUSH-issued certificates.
  • ​Validation of Expertise: This move strengthens the credibility of BAMS and BUMS graduates in the eyes of public and private sectors.

​As India moves toward a "One Nation, One Health System" approach, this directive is a massive leap forward for lakhs of AYUSH professionals nationwide.
