Foundation stone laid for Government Ayurveda College & Hospital in Gujarat

Government Ayurveda College & Hospital at Surendranagar, Gujarat will include infrastructure for the college, 100 bedded hospital, a hostel block for students and staff quarter. 

On this occasion, Dr Munjapara said, “Quality medical education at affordable prices in the Ayush sector is becoming a present-day reality and National Ayush Mission is adding wings to it. Our traditional medicine systems are efficacious and are being practised for ages. It’s only due to the efforts of our prime minister that WHO-GCTM was established in Jamnagar. There were five Government Ayurvedic Colleges in Gujarat and now we are establishing the sixth one. It will immensely benefit the students and surrounding community.”

Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha said, “Today we witnessed the effort of the establishment of yet another state-of-the-art Ayurvedic institution in the state of Gujarat. Ministry of Ayush will provide all support and ensure this college and hospital is fully operational by 2024.”

During the event, Dr Munjapara Mahendrabhai also flagged off six ambulances, four of which were approved by him under MPLAD scheme, for the service of the local community.

The Ministry of Ayush under its centrally sponsored scheme National Ayush Mission (NAM) is supporting the efforts of the Government of Gujarat for establishing state-of-the-art Ayush facilities.
