14. Recognition of medical qualifications granted
by medical institutions in States or countries outside India
(1) The medical qualifications granted by
medical institutions outside India which are included in
the Third Schedule shall be recognized medical qualifications for the purposes
of this Act.
(2) (a) The Central Council may enter into
negotiations with the authority in any State or country outside India, which by
the law of such State or country is entrusted with the maintenance of a
Register of practitioners of Homoeopathy, for setting of a scheme of
reciprocity for the recognition of medical qualifications in Homoeopathy, and
in pursuance of any such scheme, the Central Government may, by notification in
the Official Gazette, amend the Third Schedule so as to include therein any
medical qualification which the Central Council has decided should be
recognized, and any such notification may also direct that an entry shall be
made in the last column of the Third Schedule against such medical
qualification declaring that it shall be a recognized medical qualification
only when granted after a specified date.
(b) Where the Council
has refused to recommend any medical qualification which has been proposed for
recognition by any authority referred to in clause (a) and that authority
applies to the Central Government in this behalf, the Central Government, after
considering such application and after obtaining from the Council a report, if
any, as to the reasons for any such refusal, may, by notification in the
Official Gazette, declare that such qualification shall be a recognized medical
qualification and the provisions of clause (a) shall apply accordingly
