I got a chance to attend inogural function of campaign on anaemia control, geriatric health care and maternal and child health, at NIAPER patiala, Punjab. This is a project of Govt. of India, given to the Ayurveda department of 7 states. In Punjab this campaign is being started in 20 dispensaries of 5 districts. Under this campaign geriatric clinic has started at Govt. Ayurvedic Hospital, Patiala. Free consultation by experts and free medicine is being provided to the geriatric population. Two Ayurvedic drugs "Dhatri loha" and "punarnava mandoora" were launched by the honourable health minister, Punjab Mrs. Laxmikanta Chawla. These drugs will be provided free to the patients suffering from anemia, special stress will be given on undernourished schoolgoing children. We the faculty of Ayurveda are looking towards the success of this campaign.
