Vijayawada: Health minister Kamineni Srinivas on Monday said that the state government would extend all possible support to popularise Ayurveda, the ancient form of medicine and take it to every household in the state.
The minister was speaking after inaugurating a boys’ hostel constructed at a cost of 1.5 crore funds in the Nori Rama Sastry Government Ayurveda Hospital in Vijayawada on Monday.
He said, “We don’t have Ayurveda laboratories in the state now as the ones we did have, have been left behind in Telangana. We need to build and develop such labs here. The government will help the development programs and see the Ayurveda medicine is available at all medical shops in the state.”
Ayush commissioner K.P. Vasuki said that PG and UG admissions for Ayurveda hospital would commence from this year. “The admissions were stopped three years ago as we lacked the required infrastructure. Now, we have provided all the facilities and expect the admissions to commence soon.”
