The Bhartiya Chikitsa Parishad Act, 1998

The Bharatiya Chikitsa Parishad Act, 1998, is a regulatory statute designed to govern the practice of Indian Systems of Medicine—specifically Ayurveda, Unani, and Siddha—within the relevant jurisdiction. The Act establishes a professional Council (the Parishad) responsible for maintaining a register of qualified medical practitioners, setting standards for medical education, and overseeing professional conduct. For the ordinary citizen, this Act serves as a vital safeguard, ensuring that individuals claiming to be doctors in these systems possess the necessary qualifications and are held accountable for their professional actions, thereby protecting public health and preventing medical malpractice by unqualified persons.
