Dr. Walia said that holistic health is an integrated approach
pertaining to every aspect of health care, including the physical,
psychological, spiritual and social need of people. This holistic view should be widely accepted
in medicine.
Health and Family Minister Dr. A. K. Walia
today called upon medical professionals from all fields such as allopathy,
ayurveda, yoga, unani, siddha, homoeopathy, naturopathy and other allied
therapies like laughter therapy, physiotherapy, diet therapy, etc. to work in
close association with one another as well as with environmental specialists to
achieve the goal of holistic health. He
said that as the Health Minister he is looking for such collaborations as centre
point of all health care agencies in future whereby every citizen will have
access to clean water, clean food and clean air. He was addressing a two-day national seminar
and workshop on Holistic Health at Maulana Azad Medical College
Auditorium. It has been organized by the
Health & Family Welfare Department of the Delhi Government and is being
attended by more than 500 participants of all fields of medical and health from
different parts of the country. The Minister
added that a platform is required where all systems of medicine and health can
learn from one another while maintaining their uniqueness.
The Health and Family Welfare Minister said that various systems of
medicines claim to have taken major steps in the prevention, promotion and
management of various ailments. No
healthcare system alone in the world can survive by concentrating only on
curative aspect of diseases. Therefore,
an inter-departmental coordinated approach between various disciplines like
allopathy, ayurveda, yoga, naturopathy, home remedies, unani, homeopathy and
allied therapies (like physiotherapy, laughter therapy, etc. should be the
prime focus. Thus integration is the
future of the holistic health.
