Fake Tibetan Medicine May Cause Serious Legal Problems

Dharamshala, April 17 - The misuse of traditional Tibetan system of medicine
and the adulterated medicine on sale worldwide, if unchecked, may pose
serious legal problems in future, Kalon Thupten Lungrig said Friday morning
at a conclave here marking the second anniversary of the founding of the
Central Council of Tibetan Medicine.
The independent, elected body of Sorigpa doctors must assume a pivotal role
in countering these problems on a global scale, the Kalon for Health and
Education, told a packed house, with members of the Assembly of the Tibetan
People's Deputies, dignitaries of the exile administration, reputed doctors
of Sorigpa, heads of Tibetan NGOs and media people.
Since the mandate of the exile administration is confined to its own
community, this Council must eventually earn the authority to recognise the
deserving health personnel based on the Tibetan system, including both
Tibetans and non-Tibetans, by issuing registration certificates that would
qualify as the standard credential of their authenticity, the Kalon added.
"However, exertions of the five six members of the Council, no matter how
great, cannot achieve anything all by themselves. Active cooperation must
come from all relevant quarters. My personal observation thus far says that
the Council has not received the kind of enthusiastic cooperation that it
truly deserves."
Prior to the address of Kalon, the chairman and the secretary of the
Council, Menrampa Pema Dorjee and Menrampa Namgyal Khyusar respectively,
gave a detailed account of the Council's balance of payment as on that day
and its accomplishments in addressing various challenges facing Sorigpa
today, like enhancing the efficacy of and obtaining wider recognition for
the Tibetan system of medicine, promoting better cooperation between the
Council and various indigenous systems of medicine prevalent in the
Himalayan region, etc.
At the function, Kalon Lungrig also awarded maiden registration certificates
to Dr Pema Dorjee, Dr Tsewang Tamding, Dr Passang Gyalmo, Dr Rinchen Tenzin
and Dr Tenzin Loden. The five reputed Sorigpa symbolically represent various
aspects related to the development of traditional Tibetan medicine.
