In the context of the BUMS course, practitioners are trained to perform minor surgical procedures relevant to Unani medicine practices. These procedures typically include treatments such as incision, drainage, and certain therapeutic interventions aimed at managing conditions within the scope of Unani medicine.
However, BUMS practitioners are not trained or licensed to perform major surgeries like those undertaken by MBBS doctors specializing in allopathic medicine.

No, the BUMS course is not equivalent to MBBS. Both are undergraduate medical degrees, but they pertain to different systems of medicine.
MBBS is focused on modern allopathic medicine, which is the mainstream form of medicine practised in most parts of the world, including India.
BUMS course, on the other hand, is based on the principles of Unani medicine, which is a traditional system of medicine originating in ancient Greece and subsequently developed into a comprehensive medical system by Islamic scholars.
