The Union Ministry of Ayush will soon establish the country's first All
India Institute of Homoeopathy (AIIH) at Narela in New Delhi which would
be developed as Centre of Excellence, focused on fundamental research,
drug safety evaluation, standardization, quality control and scientific
validation of Homoeopathy and post-graduate and doctoral education
related to these disciplines.
The Institute will set up
benchmarks of post-graduate and doctoral education (MD and PhD) in
Homoeopathy and to promote it at national and international level. It
will establish a state-of-the-art tertiary care hospital with facilities
for clinical research and will create standards for education, research
and therapy at its highest level so that other institutes can use it as
a model. The Institute will undertake interdisciplinary research
primarily focused on identification of best Homoeopathy treatments -
including their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) - within the
framework of traditional Homoeopathy principles and possible correlation
with bio-molecular western medicine.
Once in place, the
Institute will fulfill the demand of setting up of a quality education
and research institute for Homoeopathy. The total cost of the project is
Rs.302.16 crore and it is envisaged to be
completed in 60 months including 36 months of construction work in the
project. The Institute will have post-graduate training in Homoeopathy
with annual intake of 60 post-graduate students. It will also impart
re-orientation training and continuing medical education to Homoeopathic
physicians and teachers. The AIIH will have a referral OPD & IPD,
with 100 bed hospital and specialty clinics providing tertiary care.
The
Institute will validate fundamental principles of Homoeopathy using -
wherever needed - modern tools and technology, appropriate to the
traditional character of Homoeopathy. Other objectives of the Institute
include standardization and quality control of Homoeopathy drugs and
drug development; to improve the understanding of the traditional
character of Homoeopathy by undertaking appropriate philosophical and
historical research, including comparative philosophical study of
bio-molecular western medicine.
Once fully established, the
Institute will have 10 departments, 10 specialty clinics with
interdisciplinary research laboratories wherein 60 scholars will have
access to post graduate and doctoral (MD and PhD/ DM) programmes every
year. This institute shall also function as an international
collaborative centre for global promotion and research in Homoeopathy.
Other
objectives of the establishment of the Institute are to bring a valid
synergy between ancient wisdom of Homoeopathy and advantages of modern
diagnostics, technology and management, wherever needed; to highlight
Homoeopathy principles and guidelines and to optimize the latter for
maintenance of health and prevention of disease by diet, exercise,
seasonal regimens, age-related regimens etc; to develop principles and
outline of research objectives and methodology, that are useful for
traditional Homoeopathy; to develop a Knowledge Center for research and
therapy monitoring, recording, evaluating and feed-back providing
regarding appropriate and needed research objectives and methodology and
therapy improvements; to promote collaborative research with various
R&D institutions at national and international level institutes; and
to function as an apex body for international collaboration.
