He stressed more research on homeopathy.
Saha, who is a dentist by profession, said people still have doubts about the homeopathy treatment procedure, but it is the responsibility of the doctors to clear them.
"Homeopathy may not bring immediate relief to the patients, but it is beneficial in the long-term treatment process. It has relatively fewer side effects. The homeopathy medical officers must highlight their success stories to attract people," he said.
At present, 173 medical officers in homeopathy are engaged in government hospitals in the state.
