NATIONAL HEALTH SUMMIT CALLS FOR ONE ROOF MEDICAL MODEL TO COMBAT METABOLIC SYNDROME AND LIFESTYLE CRISIS
NATIONAL HEALTH SUMMIT CALLS FOR ONE ROOF MEDICAL MODEL TO COMBAT METABOLIC SYNDROME AND LIFESTYLE CRISIS
NEW DELHI -- In a decisive response to the burgeoning health challenges facing modern India, a panel of premier medical experts and social advocates has called for a fundamental restructuring of the national healthcare architecture. During a high-level webinar marking World Health Day and World Homeopathy Day, hosted by the Ram Janaki Sansthan Positive Broadcasting House (RJS PBH), authorities from the fields of Allopathy, Ayurveda, and Homeopathy proposed a unified medical model. This integrated approach aims to dismantle the traditional silos of treatment to address a metabolic syndrome crisis currently affecting an estimated 400 million middle-class Indians.
RJS PBH 'S 537th Seminar was co-organised by Sarita Kapoor and D P Singh Kushwaha, former Lecturer of Delhi Govt.
Sarita Kapoor moderated the summit, themed Together for Health, Stand with Science, highlighted the urgent need for Integrated Therapy Units where patients can access diverse medical philosophies under a single administrative roof.

The proceedings were marked by an extraordinary display of professional resilience as Uday Kumar Manna, the founder of the RJS PBH movement, addressed the assembly. Despite the recent loss of his parents this year, Ram Jag Singh(28 February )and Janak Dulari Devi (4April) , within a short window, Shri Manna framed the continued pursuit of national health awareness as an essential service to the country and a tribute to the movement's inspirations.
THE CASE FOR AN INTEGRATED NATIONAL HEALTH ARCHITECTURE
The core of the discussion focused on the efficacy of a complementary medical system. Prof. M. B. Gaur, Director-Principal of the Brahm Prakash Ayurved Charak Sansthan, and senior homeopath Dr. Sushil Vats, led the call for the Delhi and Central governments to institutionalize integrated care. Prof. Gaur cited the success of the Brahm Prakash Ayurved Charak Sansthan in Khera Dabar, Najafgarh, as a primary blueprint. As a 100 percent government-funded autonomous institution, it serves as a premier center where Ayurveda coexists with Homeopathy and Unani units, allowing for a multifaceted response to complex pathologies.
Prof. Gaur argued that the current global medical landscape requires a shift toward Atmanirbhar or self-reliant health. He posited that health is the essential prerequisite for the four pillars of human existence: Dharma (Duty), Artha (Prosperity), Kama (Desire), and Moksha (Liberation). According to Prof. Gaur, a person is only truly healthy when their soul, senses, and mind are in a state of bliss, alongside the physical balance of the three Doshas. He advocated for India to take a global leadership role in this integrated medical evolution, noting that the Delhi government is already testing models where multiple therapy units operate within the same hospital complex.
Dr. Sushil Vats, who served as a senior advisor to the Delhi government for over two decades, emphasized the economic necessity of this integration. He argued that the national health budget could be significantly optimized by prioritizing cost-effective traditional systems for chronic disease management. By utilizing Homeopathy and Ayurveda for long-term conditions like arthritis, hypertension, and respiratory issues, the state can reserve intensive Allopathic resources for acute trauma, emergency surgeries, and advanced diagnostic requirements.
DEFENDING THE SCIENCE OF HOMEOPATHY AGAINST SKEPTICISM
A significant portion of the webinar was dedicated to the scientific standing of Homeopathy. Dr. Sushil Vats addressed the persistent global skepticism regarding the system, specifically the claim that it operates on a placebo effect. Vats countered this by highlighting the clinical successes of Homeopathy in infants and animals. In these cases, he argued, psychological suggestion is impossible, yet the therapeutic results remain consistent.
Dr. Vats detailed the foundational principles of the science, established by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. He explained the principle of Like Cures Like and the sophisticated process of dynamization, which involves serial dilution and succussion to remove material toxicity while retaining medicinal energy. He pointed to the extensive body of research published by the Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH), noting that over 500 research papers have been featured in international medical journals, adhering to modern scientific parameters.
Addressing the common criticism that Homeopathy is a slow medicine, Dr. Vats clarified that the perceived delay is a sociological issue rather than a scientific one. Most patients only turn to Homeopathy after years of struggling with chronic conditions that have been suppressed by other treatments. He asserted that in initial cases of skin ailments, digestive issues, or hypertension, Homeopathy can offer rapid and curative results without the side effects often associated with long-term chemical dependencies.
THE SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE DIGITAL BABYSITTER PHENOMENON
The summit pivoted to a stark warning regarding the social factors contributing to India's health decline. Former President Delhi Medical Association Dr. Naresh Chawla, an Allopathic expert, delivered a critique of modern lifestyle habits, identifying a crisis of immediate gratification. He noted that the Indian middle class is increasingly sedentary, leading to a surge in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as Polycystic Ovary Disorder (PCOD) in women and metabolic syndrome across the general population.
Dr. Chawla raised specific alarms regarding the impact of technology on childhood development. He introduced the concept of the digital babysitter, where parents use mobile devices and computer games to keep children occupied. This habit, he warned, is creating a generation of goal-oriented individuals in virtual spaces who lack physical resilience and social connectivity in the real world. This isolation contributes to rising levels of childhood obesity, anxiety, and depression. He urged parents to prioritize outdoor play and a Sattvic or balanced diet, insisting that the responsibility for national health begins within the family unit and the kitchen rather than the hospital.
INTERACTIVE FORUM: PUBLIC INQUIRY AND EXPERT CLARIFICATION
The Q and A session served as a critical platform for addressing public anxieties regarding medical integration and daily health practices.
QUESTION: Is it safe to use Homeopathic and Allopathic treatments simultaneously for chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, and do the sugar-based globules in Homeopathy pose a risk to diabetic patients?
ANSWER FROM DR. SUSHIL VATS: It is entirely safe and often recommended to use the systems complementarily. Patients should never abruptly discontinue Allopathic medications for chronic conditions like hypertension or diabetes. Instead, Homeopathy should be introduced as a supporting therapy. As the patient stabilizes, a professional practitioner can gradually reduce the Allopathic dosage. Regarding the sugar concern, the globules used in Homeopathy are typically made from lactose or milk powder, not cane sugar. The quantity is so minute that it has no measurable impact on blood glucose levels, making them safe for diabetic patients.
QUESTION: Where can patients access high-quality Ayurvedic services that are affordable, and what specific departments are available for specialized care?
ANSWER FROM PROF. M. B. GAUR: The Brahm Prakash Ayurved Charak Sansthan in Khera Dabar, Najafgarh, is the premier destination for such care in the Delhi region. As a government institution, it provides consultations and medicines 100 percent free of charge. The facility includes specialized departments for liver disorders, diabetes management, hypertension, and a world-renowned Panchakarma center. The hospital serves a massive patient base from Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh.
QUESTION: What is the scientific Ayurvedic basis for meal timing and digestive health?
ANSWER FROM PROF. M. B. GAUR: The key is the maintenance of Jatharagni or the digestive fire. Ayurveda recommends a minimum gap of eight hours between lunch and dinner. This duration is necessary for the body to complete the process of digestion and nutrient absorption. If the digestive fire is constantly interrupted by frequent snacking or heavy, late-night meals, it leads to the accumulation of toxins. Following Ritucharya, or seasonal dietary discipline, and consuming fresh, local food is essential for preventing lifestyle-induced ailments.
THE RJS PBH MOVEMENT AND THE ROAD TO 2047
The webinar also served as a milestone for the RJS PBH documentation project, which aims to record the positive revolution in Indian society. Co-organizer D P Singh Kushwaha and Uday Kumar Manna provided updates on the progress of the movement's historical records. To date, the organization has published six volumes, known as Granth, which document the collective insights of experts across various sectors.
A new announcement was made regarding the seventh volume of the Granth. This upcoming publication is scheduled for release on Independence Day, August 15, 2026. It will serve as a comprehensive record of all health-related webinars and scientific debates conducted during the current period. This documentation is intended to provide a research foundation for future policy-making, ensuring that the advocacy for integrated medicine is preserved for the next generation of healthcare leaders.
The session concluded with a focus on the economic impact of preventive health. The experts agreed that by fostering a culture of wellness through Ayurveda and Homeopathy, the nation can prevent the catastrophic health expenditures that frequently drive families into debt. The movement emphasizes that health is not merely the absence of disease but the presence of physical, mental, and social vitality.
FINAL REFLECTIONS ON A UNIFIED NATIONAL VISION
As the webinar reached its conclusion, host Sarita Kapoor and the expert panel reinforced the mantra of Together for Health. The consensus among the participants was that India stands at a unique crossroads where it can combine the diagnostic and emergency precision of the West with the holistic and preventive wisdom of the East.
The speakers collectively urged the public to adopt a Sankalpa or a firm determination to prioritize health through disciplined living, yoga, and a balanced diet. They noted that while the state and the medical community can provide the infrastructure and the science, the ultimate success of the Positive India by 2047 mission depends on individual accountability and social awareness.
The event stood as a testament to the idea that scientific truth and medical progress are best served through collaboration rather than competition. By advocating for a medical model that respects the strengths of Allopathy, Ayurveda, and Homeopathy, the RJS PBH movement aims to build a resilient, healthy, and prosperous India as it approaches its centenary of independence. The webinar ended with a call to action for all citizens to become ambassadors of this integrated health revolution, ensuring that the vision of a disease-free nation becomes a reality.
