- This integration can lead to a greater understanding of different healthcare systems and enhance collaboration between practitioners.
- It can help address the demand for alternative and complementary medicine in India.
- Opposition by the IMA is based on concerns about dilution of modern medical standards, potential confusion among students, and interference with the autonomy of medical education.
