Bengal Govt to set up AYUSH hospital in Paschim Medinipur
Kolkata: A 50-bedded integrated hospital dedicated to AYUSH (Ayurveda, yoga, Unani, Siddha and homoeopathy) medications is going to be set up by the West Bengal Government in Paschim Medinipur district.
Ever since coming to power, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been laying emphasis on the building of infrastructure in AYUSH treatment methods. A separate department has been formed, headed by a minister, to accelerate various AYUSH projects.
The Chief Minister had inaugurated a similar facility in Alipurduar a few months ago.
The State Government's stress on AYUSH stems from two facts: They comprise some of the oldest and traditional forms of treatment across Bengal and AYUSH treatments are cost-effective, hence advantageous to the economically challenged. As a result, the AYUSH system of medication has a significant role in delivering healthcare to the masses.
