Mangaluru, Aug 14: Shripad Yesso Naik, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for AYUSH, on Sunday exhorted the modern medicine practitioners to explore treatment methods mentioned in AYUSH and adopt integrated treatment approach.

Inaugurating the 3 Tesla MRI and Cath Lab Facility at the Yenepoya Medical College Hospital here on Sunday, Mr. Naik said that traditional systems of medicine have played an important part in maintaining the health of people.

He said that each system of medicine should not consider the other as a competitor but as a fellow soldier in the fight against illness.

Expressing concern over shortage of medical professionals, he said the National Health Policy 2017, brought out by the Union government, gave impetus to public healthcare.

“There is a need to bring down treatment costs for less-privileged people. Medical institutions must share the responsibility. The health policy aims at making optimum use of available resources to make healthcare facilities accessible to all. It also seeks to raise the public health expenditure to 2.5% of the GDP,” Naik said.

The minister said there were ample opportunities for research in the traditional systems of medicine such as Ayurveda and Unani.

On the occasion, he released a booklet on dengue awareness, published by the Department of Ayush.

Chancellor of Yenepoya University Yenepoya Abdulla Kunhi said that the university was working towards building an integrated treatment complex on its campus in Deralakatte.

University Vice-Chancellor M. Vijaykumar said that the Yenepoya Medical College Hospital was the third one in the Sstate where 3 Tesla MRI facility was available.

NRI Entrepreneur B R Shetty, who was the guest on the occasion, announced a global conference on Ayush in Dubai in November. He lauded the Yenepoya Medical and Charitable Hospital for providing healthcare to the underprivileged.

IAE and YMK Foundation Chairman Y Mohamed Kunhi,  Registrar Dr G Shreekumar Menon and Yenepoya Medical and Charitable Hospital Chief Operating Officer Dr Mohammed Amin Wani were present.
