India, in the process of shedding nearly 1000 years of colonization, is promoting and supporting it's ancient practices. Ayurveda, along with yoga, has been heavily promoted and supported by government agencies.
It was recently announced that dhe state government has planned Government Ayurveda Hospitals in 12 districts that do not have them at present in a bid to promote traditional alternative medicine. A budget has been sanctioned for the purpose. As many as 36 government Ayurveda hospitals providing dispensing alternative curative and preventive medicine or Ayurveda exist in the state presently with close to 2,70,000 patients visiting hospitals and dispensaries annually. Hospitals having 50 beds each will be set up in various areas currently without ayurvedic facilities.
“Twelve districts in the state do not have government Ayurveda Hospitals and the idea is to set up one in every district. Work has already started on some hospitals. We plan to have Ayurveda Hospitals on the same location as allopathy hospitals, something we refer to as co-location while there will be a few standalone buildings as well. The building and administration will remain separate in all cases. The process of land acquisition, structural design and construction will begin soon. For a start, we plan to begin with an Ayurveda Hospital in Surendranagar and make a model Ayush hospital,” Dr Dineshchandra H Pandya, director, Directorate Ayush said.
