Medical Association Shocked At Patanjali's Coronil Claim

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Monday hit out at the “blatant lie of WHO certification” made by Patanjali Ayurved for its Coronil tablet, which the company claims is an evidence-based medicine to fight Covid-19, and demanded an explanation from Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, in whose presence the medicine was launched.

Patanjali Ayurved Ltd founder Ramdev, at a press conference on February 19, had claimed that Coronil had received certification from the Ayush Ministry as a medicine supporting Covid-19 treatment as per the WHO’s certification scheme. Union Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan and Transport and Highway Minister Nitin Gadkari were present at the ceremony.

During a follow-up interview, Ramdev had also criticised modern medicine, equating it to “medical terrorism”.

We discuss the issue with the following panelists:

1. Murali Neelakantan, Principal, Amicus. Former Executive Director, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals
2. Dr. Shahid Jameel, Virologist
3. Dr. Rakesh Mishra, Director, Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology
4. Dr. Sanjay Nagral, Surgeon
