The Goa Indian System of Medicine and Homoeopathy Council Act, 2001 establishes the Goa Board of Indian System of Medicine and Homoeopathy to regulate and supervise the education, professional registration, and practice of Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, and Homoeopathy medical practitioners across the State of Goa. It applies to medical practitioners, educational institutions, candidates, and healthcare facilities operating within these systems of medicine. For ordinary citizens, the law acts as a vital protective shield against fake medical practitioners by maintaining an official register of qualified doctors, enforcing educational standards, establishing ethical standards, and prohibiting unregistered practice or unauthorized cross-practice of allopathic medicine.
