300 more Indian medicine clinics planned in State

Staff Reporter

ERODE: The State government will open 300 more Indian medicine clinics, G.A. Rajkumar, principal secretary and director, Directorate of Indian Medicine, said on Sunday.

Talking to journalists after inaugurating an AKP Homeopathic Clinic Research Centre’s branch at Avalpoondurai, near here, he said the clinics would be attached to primary health centres.

“Following positive response from the public to the existing 479 clinics, the State government has proposed to open additional centres at a cost of Rs. 7.01 crore.”

Mr. Rajkumar said of the 300 clinics, 200 would offer treatment through Siddha, 50 through homeopathy, and 25 each in Unani and yoga and naturopathy.

The opening of the 300 clinics would create 900 jobs. The Director said the State Government-owned Tampcol, which manufactures Siddha, Unani and Ayurvedic medicines, would soon launch a herbal concoction. “Herbal water would be packed and sold across the State,” Mr. Rajkumar said and added that its consumption would increase immunity.
