Founded

Bihar who were think for the need of any working and lively organisation. It was early 2012 were thinkers of our system were organise themselves and tried to unite on a common issue.

To achieve this goal organise a CME programme in 12 February 2012 under the banner of well-known Unani doctors organisation of India to celebrate World Unani Day. On the same day we announces for the need of an independent organisation of Unani doctors in Bihar.

After that a meeting announced at New Hostel GTCH, Rajendra Nagar, Patna on 26 August 2012. In this meeting we decided to go for new organisation with name as “Association of Unani Physicians”. In this first official meeting Dr Md Khursid Alam Ansari was nominated as president, Dr Wasimul Haque was nominated as vice president, myself Dr Md Shafat Karim were nominated as secretary, Dr Md Wasim was nominated as joint secretary and Dr Shahzad Raza was nominated as treasurer.

Global Success

Beside the nominated members Dr Abdul Ali Qadri, Dr Mahfooz Alam, Dr Ghazali Anwer Hilal and some hostel students were participants. Officially association of Unani Physician was formed and without registration it was working for the promotion of the system. For the first time organisation was organised a CME programme on 05 May 2013.

Registration

Then after this types programme on small scale becomes a part of it. In 2021 finally this organisation registered under society act. At the time of registration of Association of Unani Physicians, core members was as follows- Dr Khursid Alam Ansari was President, Dr Md Shafat Karim was Secretary, Dr Abdullah Ansari was Treasurer and Dr Wasim Firoz, Dr Shahnaz Bano, Dr Mamta Bharti, Dr Khlid Eqbal, Dr Shakir Saaba and Dr Tausif Ahmad Khan were core members.

More than three times state health society Bihar was announced certain post for district coordinator and the knowingly or unknowingly ommited the BUMS for the criteria.

Our Mission

Association tried to solve this issue at departmental level and failed, finally we decide to go through judiciary and we win this case. Unfortunately government appealed in second bench and this matter is in judiciary till now. BUMS doctors from Bihar recently crossed through a counselling for the post of Unani Medical Officer and Ayush Physician (Unani). I want to pay your attention that, in 672 post almost 124 post is reserved for SC and ST candidates and this will remain vacant (except one). Association is trying to de-reserve the seats in proper manner. We have submitted our queries in department and we will go ahead. We raised the demand of three new Unani Medical Colleges in Bihar, as you know that there is only one Government Unani Medical College in Bihar which was established before independence (in 1926).

Dear friends, besides the protecting our rights, we are promoting the system by Seminar, Workshop, CME, Health Camps. Now a day we also are planning for publishing monthly/quarterly Unani journal. In near future we have planned to establish indoor hospitals and also training centres for attar (person for compounding and dispensing the drugs at clinic). In far future we will establish Unani Medical Colleges and research and development department.
