It was Dr. A.K.Gupta, Founder Director of OVIHAMS who believed that
none of the systems of medicine is complete in its own, though each
has its own merits with limitations. Ignorance regarding the efficacy
of other systems of medicine or hesitation to accept the other systems
of medicine or lack of interaction with medical experts of the other
systems unfortunately leads to the prolonging of the already suffering
patients said Dr Gupta recipient of "International Hahnemann
Millennium Award". Most of the times patients are in dilemma
that which would be the most appropriate system for his particular
ailment and where to seek that medical advice. It was Dr Gupta's
personal bad and sad experience which he experienced when one of
his patient who was treated and cured by Homoeopathy was shrugged
off as just like that by Allopathic doctor from AIIMS, Dr.Gupta
felt really very bad that instead of recognizing the efficacy of
some other system patient was ridiculed and made to understand that
sometimes cure takes place on its own .
Dr. Gupta wondered if it was so then why did doctors
from AIIMS prescribed the medicines and asked the patient that it
might take 9 ¨C 10 months to treat the problem. Few more unhappy
experiences made him think that anybody who professes his system
of medicine is alright but Does he have any right to condemn the
other system of medicine without knowing anything about it?
And specially Is he really concerened about the
welfare of the patients? , who due to some reason or the other is
not responding to one particular system of medicine or where patients
can't take medicines . Thinking very deeply he made up his mind
and felt that the need of the hour is that experts of various systems
of medicine should shun away their misconceptions and their Ego
and work together with open mindedness and believing that every
system of medicine has got something to offer in certain specified
fields and recognizing them can have the integrated approach if
need be to provide the best possible medical care to the suffering
humanity.
To mark the 1999 as International Year of Elderly,
Dr.Gupta dedicated OVIHAMS ,this institute to his revered elderly
parents Shri Om Prakash Gupta and Smt. Vidya Wati who are guiding
force to him. It is his endeavour that eversince the inception OVIHAMS
on 8th August 1999 he has been holding A Free Camp on 8th of every
Month and innumerable people has already been benefitted through
these camps, where patients have the cafeteria choice of treatment
among various systems of medicines and if needed the integration
of systems is also done to provide the best medical care to achieve
the best results and cure for the patients. |
