AYUSH Minister Sarbananda Sonowal upholds integration of different medical systems

Upholding the significance of integrating various systems of medicine to ensure public good, Union Minister of AYUSH, Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal said here on Thursday the Central government was working towards creating a unique healthcare network by blending modern medical science with the traditional systems.

Inaugurating a hostel block for post-graduate students at the National Homeopathy Research Institute in Mental Health, Kurichy, Mr. Sonowal said the institute would become a centre of excellence providing world-class treatment in near future. The Centre’s goal is to ensure better health of the people by getting the modern and traditional medical treatment work together, and plans were afoot to establish a healthcare system by combining the two “from the top to the bottom.”

He also offered ample support for the institution in developing its infrastructure, including hostel, academic and hospital blocks.
