Deputy Secretary, Ministry of Health, to head the Finance Committee of the National Council for Homoeopathy

Islamabad, November 2002: Through an amendment to the Unani, Ayurvedic and Homoeopathic Practitioners’ Act 1965, the Federal Government has taken away the powers of the National Council for Homoeopathy to appoint the Chairman of its Finance Committee. The finances of the Council will now be looked after by the Deputy Secretary  (Budget) of the Ministry of Health who will be the Chairman of the Finance Committee.

The accounts of the Council shall be maintained by one or more auditors to be appointed by the Federal Government in consultation with The Auditor General of Pakistan. The move has come in the wake of allegations of serious financial bunglings by the members of the Council.
