Overview
- Swami Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna inaugurated the hospital at Patanjali Yogpeeth with a Yajna‑Agnihotra ceremony and Vedic chants.
- Patanjali says the facility is operational with MRI, CT, X‑ray, ultrasound and pathology services and can perform major non‑cancer surgeries including brain, heart and spine procedures, with capacity claimed for hundreds of daily cases.
- The model brings together Ayurvedic vaidyas, modern medical doctors and naturopaths under a cooperative setup that, leaders say, prioritizes patient care over revenue targets.
- Ramdev announced plans for a much larger Delhi‑NCR hospital and said cancer surgery at Haridwar is planned for a later phase.
- Balkrishna asserted that integrating predominantly traditional medicine with limited modern medicine could reset healthcare within four to five years, citing in‑house research claims including a BSL‑2 lab and in‑vivo/in‑vitro testing.
