There are two courses are going on side by side. One is DHMS and other is BHMS. DHMS course is of four year duration and NCH is handling all affairs of DHMS. One can get license of practice after getting DHMS.

Three recognized universities are taking BHMS exams. These universities are running under UGC (University Grant Commission) of Pakistan.

Homoeopathy is recognized at Government level. Medical Homoeopathic Doctors are working in Government Hospitals in each city.

Homeopathic activities are very popular here in Pakistan. Pakistan Homeopathic Society is one the largest organization at SOCIETY LEVEL. It was founded by five members. These include Dr.MAS, Dr. M Iqbal, Dr. Faisal, Dr. Rasheed and Dr. Inayat. It is non political society who’s main aim is to promote homeopathic activities and education. It is creating awareness among general public at highest level. I am the chief public coordinator of the society and joined after two years of its creation.

PK sinha,

In India there are approx 95000 (Ninty five thousand) homoeopathic doctors are living. Only India and Pakistan are those countries where homeopathy is recognized at Government level. Government is appointing Homoeo Medical Officers in their Health Departments. From District Health Officer (DHO) to Section Officer in Ministry of Health. This is not practicing in any other part of the world.

BHMS is more popular in India than DHMS but in Pakistan DHMS is popular than BHMS. Both are equal courses. But the way of study and standard is slightly different.

In India BHMS colleges are larger in quantity and very well established while in Pakistan there are only four sub campus for BHMS.

In rest of the countries. Homoeopathy is acceptable at society / organization / association level. If one can get the registration of organization or council then he / she can practice homeopathy but government is not recognizing the system. But in Pakistan and India parliament passed the bill of ayurvedic and homeopathic practice bill in 1965 and 1956 respectively. In other countries no parliament so for passed the bill.

In Some countries like UK. Ministry of Health decided that they will not check homoeopathic practitioner who will get membership of non government organization. Hence some homeopathic practitioner are member of many councils and organizations. But if you some body knows the meaning of recognized system. These organizations are running under civil persons. Ministry of Health is supporting them with annual budget. But in India and Pakistan. Ministry of Health used to allocate budget for homoeopathic health care.
