Apex Unani medicine institute to come up in Ghaziabad
Talking to TOI,
Prof Saad Usmani, former principal, State Unani Medical College and
Hospital, Allahabad, who is a member of the committee to review
establishment of formation of AIIUM, said that the planning commission
has already made a budgetary provision of Rs 40 crore in the current
annual plan for the institution.
The AIIUM is conceived as an apex institution for Unani medicines. The
institute would offer post-graduate and doctoral courses in various
disciplines of Unani medicines and focus on fundamental research, drug
development, standardization, quality control, safety and evaluation and
scientific validation of Unani medicines, informed Usmani.
"It will have 200 bed referral hospital for facilitating clinical research," said Prof Usmani. Once fully established, the institute will have 25 departments, 135 specialty clines with inter-disciplinary research laboratories, wherein 120 scholars will have access to post-graduate, doctoral programmes every year," he added.
He further said that the institute shall function as an institutional collaborative centre for global promotion and research in Unani medicines. The institute will be established in Ghaziabad in view of the fact that there are no standard national level institutes of Unani medicines near the capital of the country for catering to the tertiary level Unani medicine healthcare needs of Ghaziabad, Delhi and surrounding states like UP and Haryana.
Prof Usmani further informed that the land allotted for AIIUM is around 20 acres and the institute is expected to start functioning within the next three years.
