Vij said directions have also been issued to provide all 163 homeopathic doctors with laptops equipped with advanced homeopathy software--Radar and printers--to facilitate them in promotion of homeopathy.

This software would not only help in maintaining proper records of all patients in hospitals but would also help them in prescribing medicines, he said, according to an official release here.
