Association of Unani Physicians (AUP), Bihar AUP, Bihar is the only representative voluntary organization of Doctors of Unani System of Medicine in Bihar. This organization looks after the interest of Unani doctors as well as the well-being of the nation. This organization was formed in January 2012 with the avowed objectives to the development of the Unani system of medicine and the country. Later in the year 2021, the Association of Unani Physicians (AUP), Bihar, gets duly registered under the Societies Registration Act, 21 of 1860 by the Government of Bihar. At present, AUP is a well-established organization with its headquarter located in Patna, Bihar. AUP, Bihar is committed to the maintenance of honor and dignity of the profession. The Association will continuously work for the betterment of the Unani system of Medicine and fraternity. Last year, we fought against the discrimination between Unani and other Indian systems of medicine. As you all know, we fought and won the case against the state health society, Bihar for the post of community health officer, and finally they advertised a 20 % seat. It is still in LPA by the Government of Bihar, and we are continuously monitoring them. AUP, Bihar, is also representing on behalf of Unani Doctors in the court case of reallocation of seats in Government employment by the Bihar State Homeopathic Medical Officers Association, Patna, in Patna High court as well as in the Supreme court of India. In Bihar Government services, the existing allocated quota for Ayurvedic, Homeopathic and Unani Medicine is 50:30:20 respectively, of the total seats of AYUSH system. In the recent past, the Bihar State Homeopathic Medical Officers Association, Patna, has made an allegation that the existing allocated quota is arbitrary and discriminatory. They argue to the Government of Bihar to modify the existing ratio, after rejection of their argument the adopt the legal remedy gradually from Patna High Court to the Supreme Court of India. In all such events, AUP, Bihar is representing party on behalf of Unani Doctors of the state. AUP, Bihar, is closely monitoring the all-legal issues of the interest of Unani Doctors. We have demanded to the Bihar state government to establish three new government Unani medical colleges. AUP has annually organized a National seminar to improve the educational and professional skills of Unani Physicians since 2012. We are also organizing training programs, workshops, conferences, health camps for the awareness of Unani medicine among the Unani Physicians and people of Bihar. In this sequence, AUP has decided to organize a medical camp in February of 2023 in every district of Bihar for awareness and propagation of Unani medicine. We are continuously searching for new areas of scope and employment of Unani Doctors.
