Please describe can a Bams doctor can do same surgery like MBBS doctor in India? Is it allowed by authorities?

No, a BAMS doctor cannot perform the same surgeries as an MBBS doctor in India. BAMS doctors are trained in Ayurveda, which is a traditional Indian system of medicine. Ayurveda does not include training in surgery. MBBS doctors, on the other hand, are trained in modern medicine, which includes training in surgery.

The Indian government does not allow BAMS doctors to perform surgery. The Medical Council of India (MCI), which is the regulatory body for medical education in India, has stated that BAMS doctors are not qualified to perform surgery.

There are some exceptions to this rule. For example, BAMS doctors can perform certain minor surgeries, such as circumcisions. However, they cannot perform major surgeries, such as appendectomies or heart surgeries.

If you are considering seeing a BAMS doctor for surgery, it is important to be aware of their limitations. You should also be sure to ask the doctor about their training and experience in surgery.
