Medical Services to the needy patients.

An impressive function on 8th August 1999 marked the opening of
OVIHAMS (Om Vidya Institute Of Homoeopathy And Allied Medical Sciences)
OVIHAMS is the brainchild of Dr. A.K. Gupta, a leading Homoeopathic
Consultant of International repute who has been decorated with many
awards including the prestigious Dr. Yudhvir Singh Award and Dr.
Ziemblicki Zygmunt Research Centre U.S.A. Who also gave the slogan
to Homoeopaths that "Homoeopathy Ensures Health Safely"
Dr. Gupta in his long medical career of more than 2 decades
has always endeavoured to provide the best medical care to the patients
within reasonable means. To mark 1999 as the International Year
of Senior Citizens (Geriatrics), Dr. Gupta has dedicated this Institute
to his revered elderly parents Shri Om Prakash Gupta and Smt Vidya
Wati who are the guiding force to him.
Dr. Gupta in his brief informative address to the gathering shared
his concept behind the Institute. He said that in his long medical
career he has realized that Homoeopaths were looked upon as second
grade physicians and Homoeopathy as the second and third choice as a
system of medicine by most of the people. Homoeopathy, he felt
despite marvellous results and high curative rate, comparable to any
other system of medicine, lacks a proper avenue to highlighten and
project itself and OVIHAMS has been brought up to fill in this vaccum.
Homoeopathy, he said has wonderful remedies for most of the emergency
medical conditions including Angina Pectoris, Status Asthmaticus,
Epileptic Fits, Coma, Severe Hypertension but Homoeopaths because of
lack of exposure in dealing with such cases as well as non
availability of proper accessory aids and diagnostic tools, shirk to take
up such cases, which not only deprives the patient of effective
Homoeopathic treatment but also brings a question mark to deal such cases
by this system of medicine. He said that at OVIHAMS all patients
desirous of taking Homoeopathic treatment even in emergency shall be
taken up and physicians from other disciplines of medicine including
allopathy could also be consulted for diagnosis and monitoring the progress
of the case.
However,
Homoeopathy, like any other system of medicine has its limitations,
said Dr. Gupta and therefore OVIHAMS aims to provide integrated
medical services to the patient under one roof. It has been observed
that the ignorance regarding the efficacy of other system of medicines
or hesitation to accept the other system of medicine or lack of
interaction with the medical experts of other system of medicine
which unfortunately leads to the prolonging of the already suffering
patients. Most of the time the patients are in dilemma that which
would be the most appropriate system for his particular ailment
and where to seek that medical advice. Therefore, he said, that
the need of the hour is that experts of various system of medicines
shun away their misconceptions and work with an open mind towards
integrated approach to provide the best possible medical care to
the suffering humanity.
OVIAHMS very shortly proposes to start Special Clinics and OPD's
in the afternoon on weekly/ fortnightly basis on Geriatrics, Diabetes,
Endocrinological Disorders, Hypertension, Drug De-addiction, Mental
Retardation etc. where the integrated approach shall be adopted
and an environment would be created for the combined future research
also.
At OVIHAMS orientation programs for Homoeopathic Doctors for upgradation
of their professional knowledge, both in the field of Homoeopathy
and Medicine at large are also proposed in the near future. For
this programme suggestions are invited by the director of the Institute. |
