The Orissa Homoeopathic Act, 1956
The Orissa Homoeopathic Act, 1956
This law establishes the Orissa State Board of Homoeopathic Medicine to regulate the educational standards, professional qualifications, and medical practice of homeopathy across the state of Orissa. It mandates official registration for all practicing homeopathic doctors, sets curriculum standards for medical institutions, conducts examinations, and licenses sellers of homeopathic medicines. The statute applies to all homeopathic practitioners, students, educational institutions, and pharmacies in Orissa. It matters because it protects public safety by preventing unqualified individuals from practicing medicine, ensures high educational standards, and legally empowers registered homeopathic practitioners to work in government healthcare roles and issue valid medical certificates.
