25-bed homoeopathic hospital planned in every district

DAVANGERE: President of the Karnataka Board of Homoeopathic System of Medicine Veerabramhachary has said that the government proposes to set up at least one 25-bed homoeopathic hospital in every district headquarters, and one 10-bed homeopathic hospital in every taluk headquarters in the State.

He said homoeopathic doctors and practitioners had sometime ago made a request for this in the wake of an increasing demand for homoeopathic treatment by the people. Inaugurating the State-level seminar on the homoeopathic system of medicine here on Sunday, Mr. Veerabramhachary expressed concern that despite knowing the importance of homoeopathy, the Government had not yet accorded it due importance.

He also said there were over 2,60,000 homoeopathic doctors in the country and over 9,000 registered doctors in the State. Of the 9,000 doctors, 3,500 were full-time, he said and added that there were 12 private and one government homoeopathic college in the State. As many as 10 homoeopathic hospitals were there in the State.

“It is an established fact that homoeopathic treatment is extremely effective even for diseases where no ostensible cure is available in Allopathy or other systems of medicine. Homoeopathy stands second in the world in terms of application among various systems of medicine such as Allopathy, Ayurveda, Siddha, Yoga and Naturopathy,” he said.

Homoeopath B.T. Rudresh, Executive Committee member of the Central Council of Homoeopathy, M.R. Srivatsan and general secretary of the Davangere Homoeopaths Association A.N. Sundaresh spoke. Founder of the homoeopathic system of medicine

Dr. Hahnemann was remembered.
