VIJAYAWADA: Efforts are being made to make the Dr Achanta Lakshmipathi

Government Ayurvedic Hospital into a " super speciality " hospital catering to the

needs of all the nine coastal districts. The dilapidated tiled structure housing

the hospital for several decades has been pulled down to construct a new

building that can accommodate 200 beds. Speciality services like panchakarma,

surgery and proctologic care will be available to patients on completion of the

new building.

 

Ayurvedic College principal K.Bhushanam said that the Department of AYUSH

sanctioned Rs.50 lakhs for the construction of a hospital building with a plinth

area of 3,844 feet. The amount had been deposited with the A.P.M.H.I.D.C,

Hyderabad

 

Hospital superintendent K.Ravindranath said over 48,000 patients visited the

hospital from April to November and 41,000 patients were treated as outpatients

and 7,700 as inpatients. The hospital at present had four inpatient general

wards - male medical (charaka), female medical and surgical (susrutha),

maternity and paediatric (vaghbata) and male surgical (kasyapa). It offered

panchakarma therapy and surgery for ksharasutra and piles. More than Rs 50

lakhs would be required for completion of the hospital building. The Krishna

district Collector had been asked to sanction Rs 20 lakhs and AYUSH commissioner

would also be approached for more funds, the superintendent said.

We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount.

Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war

than we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living.
