Kharian Homoeopathic Medical College 2.49

Homeopathic Medical System is officially recognized by Government of Pakistan. The system of training, examination, award of diplomas in homeopathy and registration of homeopaths is controlled by National Council for Homeopathy. The Council works under the Ministry of Health, Government of Pakistan and is responsible for formulating policies related with homeopathic practice, conducting examinations, approving new homeopathic colleges and registering the practitioners. To be eligible to practice homeopathy in Pakistan, one has to go through the following procedure:
1. Undergo for a 4 years’ intensive and full time training course that is "Diploma in Homeopathic Medical System (DHMS)" and qualify.
2. Undergo apprenticeship in a homeopathic hospital for six months to be eligible to get the Diploma.
3. Registration by the National Council for Homeopathy as homeopathic medical practitioner (RHMP), which is mandatory. In Pakistan, no one is allowed to practice homeopathy without this registration even if he/she holds the DHMS. Registration with the Council also makes a person eligible for the job of a homeopath in government hospitals in Pakistan.
Just to meet the demand of physicians in this medical profession relaxation of matriculates with science as minimum admission requirement is given. However UAH Act 1965 clearly states “Preference” for FSc (premedical) and those with higher qualifications for admissions. Course curriculum is similar and in some aspects is higher then Indian BHMS. Considering the curriculum it is therefore a course of preference for many MBBS, MSc and PhD students. After completing a course a person is eligible to use a title “Homeopathic Doctor”.
