‘No COVID deaths from Ayurvedic Hospitals so far’
Not a single COVID-19 infected patient who received ayurvedic treatment from Ayurvedic Hospitals has died of COVID to date, Ayurvedic Affairs Department Commissioner General Dhammika Abeygunawardena said.
He was addressing a media briefing at the Welegedara Ayurveda General Hospital, Kurunegala yesterday..
During the past one and half months, about 3,820 COVID cases have been admitted to the Ayurvedic Hospitals. Of them, about 2,843 patients have already left the hospitals without side effects or any other disorders, he said.
About 10,388 beds are avaiable for COVID-19 cases at the Ayurvedic Hospitals in the country, he said.
About Rs. 1,000 million is spent annually to import herbs to produce aurvedic drugs for treating patients. If we grow these herbs in the country, we can save the cost, he said.
