Operated by Patanjali Yogpeeth, the hospital will provide services for heart, brain and spinal cord surgeries and will provide medical services to patients through the integration of yoga, ayurveda, naturopathy and modern medicine, the statement said.

He said that the first centre of the integrated medical system has been established in Patanjali, and in the future, it will be expanded to Delhi and beyond, even to international shores.
