Ayurvaid:
Comprehensive Care for Chronic Illness
The Ayurveda system of traditional medicine is the first choice for a significant section of India's population for meeting healthcare needs. Ayurveda physicians undergo rigorous 5-year education programs that include detailed study of the classical Ayurveda medical science, as well as the essentials of modern medicine, surgery, and pharmacology. Despite demand for their services, however, the country's large reserve of qualified and government accredited Ayurveda physicians goes underutilized due to the shortage of health infrastructure and the absence of an organized, professional support system. Kerala First Healthcare Services has pioneered its successful AyurVAID hospitals as a replicable and scaleable model that appropriately integrates classical Ayurveda practice with modern allopathic practice to treat chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, and stroke. AyurVAID hospitals are the only Ayurveda hospitals currently accredited by 12 of India's leading medical insurance service providers.
