T.N. CM inaugurates integrated AYUSH hospital in Tiruvannamalai; lays foundation for multi-super specialty hospital in Vellore

Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Tuesday virtually inaugurated a three-storey Integrated Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy (AYUSH) hospital at the Government District Headquarters Hospital in Tiruvannamalai.

Tiruvannamalai is now only the second district, after Theni, to have an integrated hospital for AYUSH in Tamil Nadu. Built on a spacious campus, the new hospital, which was jointly built by the Central and State governments at a cost of ₹7.33 crore, has been divided into three blocks, mainly for Siddha and yoga treatment. Each block has a 50-bed facility staffed by doctors and nurses.

“Currently, the new hospital will provide Siddha and yoga treatments. Once the Union government gives its nod, the other three streams, as Ayurveda, Unani and Homeopathy will be handled,” R. Karthikeyan, District Siddha Officer (Tiruvannamalai), told The Hindu.
