Economic growth and rapid urbanization in India have resulted in increased prevalence of lifestyle diseases. In regular hospitals the focus is on eliminating or controlling disease using drugs and clinical procedures. The wellness of the person is seen as a result of successful elimination of disease from the body. Thus many people are not satisfied with the quality of healthcare received from normal hospitals. This gave rise to the concept of a holistic healthcare delivery system which focuses on the wellness of the person.
Holistic healthcare will heal the body as well as the mind. The strengths of modern medicine will be supported by the traditional / integrated systems of medicine to expedite healing. Therefore a heart patient will be treated for his heart condition through medical procedures such as angioplasty or open heart surgery and also be trained to relieve stress through meditation and yoga and other methods of his choice.
Preventive and promotive health care will be provided so that changes can be made in life style to prevent diseases. Health education, counseling services and palliative care will be available under one roof. The holistic health will be accessible to all sections of society because drugs and diagnostic procedures will be available at low cost.
The hospital will be eco-friendly and designed to consume minimum energy. For this HHPL has one of India's best medical architect group associated with it to design the hospital. This hospital will also be a centre for research on integrated system of medicine in India. The core of the hospital will be a set of well-trained, dedicated and motivated staff. |
