Reach out to rural areas, Speaker tells homoeopaths

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: Speaker K.R. Suresh Reddy on Sunday appealed to homoeopathy doctors to spread out into the rural areas to help the poor, taking advantage of the system's cost-effective cure sans side-effects.

At the valedictory of the two-day 14th National Homoeopathic Conference here he emphasised the need for a pro-rural bias as a majority population stays in villages.

Referring to the demand for four post-graduate branches in paediatrics, medicine, gynaecology and psychiatry put forth by the Andhra Pradesh Post-Graduate Homoeopathic Medical Officers' Association, which jointly organised the conference with Research Society of Homoeopathy, Mr. Reddy assured to take them to the Government's notice.

S. Praveen Kumar, association president, wanted the Government to appoint staff for the post-graduate department in Government Homoeopathy College, Ramanthapur. He said the four branches had been approved by the Central Council of Homoeopathy.

The conference felicitated 15 eminent homoeo doctors for their contribution to popularise the alternative system of medicine. It re-elected Dr. Praveen Kumar president and Srinivas Reddy general secretary of the association.

About 650 delegates, including scientists, faculty and students from across India, attended the conference with the theme `Homoeopathy for the modern era.'
