This new infrastructure will house the Regional Research Institute of Homoeopathy (RRIH), under the Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH) and the Regional Research Institute of Unani Medicine (RRIUM)
The Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways and Ayush, Sarbananda Sonowal inaugurated an Ayush Building Complex at Kharghar in Navi Mumbai. This new infrastructure will house the Regional Research Institute of Homoeopathy (RRIH), under the Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH) and the Regional Research Institute of Unani Medicine (RRIUM) under the Central Council for Research in Unani Medicine (CCRUM). Built over an area of 1999.82 square metres with a constructed area of 5860 square meters, this three-storied building complex was constructed by the City & Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra (CIDCO).
Speaking on the occasion, the Union Ayush Minister, Sarbananda Sonowal said, “The Indian traditional medicinal practices have been proving their effect on the enrichment of human lives over many centuries. We intend to make these two institutions – Regional Research Institute of Homoeopathy (RRIH) & Regional Research Institute of Unani Medicine (RRIUM) into Centres of Excellence for Allergic Disorder and Regimental Therapy respectively. Plans are already afoot, at the behest of the Ministry of Ayush, towards this end.”
These institutes will provide facilities like patient consultation, medicines, and laboratory facilities for routine haematological and biochemistry for the paediatric, geriatric and general population and are headed by separate In-Charges of Homoeopathy and Unani respectively. It is proposed that the RRIH and RRIUM will be soon developed as Institute of Homoeopathy for Allergic Disorders and as a Centre of excellence for IlajBit-Tadbeer i.e. Regimenal therapy, respectively.
Adding further to the commitment of the government towards the promotion of traditional Indian medicinal practice, Sonowal further added, “The Ministry of Ayush has been taking steps to encourage, energise and expedite promotion and application of our traditional medicinal practices for better patient care. Today, with the inauguration of this infrastructure, we move a step closer to this objective. With the inauguration of this complex, the Ayush medicinal practices have got a shot in the arm in Maharashtra. I hope that the people of Mumbai and the whole of Maharashtra can avail benefit from the work done at these two institutions from now on.”
