    Shocked to note blatant lie: IMA questions government over 'Coronil'
  • The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has sharply criticized the government's promotion of an "unscientific" medicine for COVID-19.

    In a statement on Monday, the IMA questioned the Union Health Minister, Dr. Harsh Vardhan, over Coronil: the "first evidence-based medicine for COVID-19."

    Coronil, developed by yoga guru Baba Ramdev's Patanjali, was approved by the AYUSH Ministry as a "supporting measure in COVID-19."

    Here are more details.

  • The IMA questioned how Dr. Vardhan could promote a "falsely fabricated, unscientific product."

    It expressed shock over the "blatant lie" of a World Health Organization (WHO) certification for a "secret medicine."

    The country "needs an explanation," the IMA said, describing Coronil's promotion as blatant deception.

    If Coronil was effective against COVID-19, why is the government spending Rs. 35,000 crore for vaccination, the IMA questioned.

    'How ethical is it to promote the unscientific product?'

  • The IMA said, "Being a Health Minister of the country, how ethical is it to promote the product in unethical, wrong, and false ways to the whole country?"

    "Being a Health Minister of the country and a Modern Medicine doctor, how ethical is it to promote the unscientific product to the citizens of the country," the organization added.

  • Ramdev had launched Coronil in the presence of Dr. Vardhan, and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari.

    It was claimed that the "medicine" was CoPP and WHO GMP certified, i.e., it has a certificate of pharmaceutical product (CoPP) and is recognized by the WHO's Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

    Ramdev also released a research paper for the "first evidence-based medicine for COVID-19 by Patanjali."

  • Information

    WHO said it hasn't certified any COVID-19 medicine

  • Later, the WHO clarified that it had not reviewed or certified any traditional medicine to treat or prevent COVID-19. "@WHO has not reviewed or certified the effectiveness of any traditional medicine for the treatment #COVID19," WHO South-East Asia tweeted.

  • Before WHO's tweet, Patanjali Ayurved Managing Director Acharya Balkrishna had issued a clarification as people were skeptical about the certification to Coronil.

    "Our WHO GMP-compliant COPP certificate to Coronil is issued by DCGI, Government of India. It is clear that WHO do not approve or disapprove any drugs. WHO works for building a better, healthier future for people all over the world," Balkrishna tweeted.
