Nuh: On the occasion of Haryana Day, the All India Unani Tibbi Congress (AIUTC), Haryana, organised a Free Unani medical camp under its “Unani Upchar Janata Ke Dwaar Mission 2025” at Gaushala Road here. The camp served 296 patients, who received free Unani medicines and consultations. The day also marked the annual general body meeting of the All India Unani Tibbi Congress, Haryana.
Dr. Yashbir Gehlawat, District Ayurvedic Officer of Nuh, and Dr. Syed Ahmed Khan, former Deputy Director of CCRUM (Ministry of AYUSH) and Head of Unani at Safdarjung Hospital, attended as special guests.
Dr. Gehlawat encouraged Unani and Ayurvedic practitioners to take pride in their work and assured support for Unani medicine’s development.
Dr. Khan highlighted that organising such free medical camps benefits the public and raises awareness of the Congress’s efforts in promoting Unani healthcare.
Dr. Khan also called on the Haryana government to establish a Deputy Director for Unani in the AYUSH department. Historian and social activist Dr. Siddiq Ahmed Mewati, present as an honorary guest, emphasised the significance of such camps in regions like Mewat, suggesting that adopting Unani treatments could address numerous health issues without the side effects often associated with allopathic medicine.
Dr. Qamaruddin Zakir, President of AIUTC Haryana, expressed gratitude to the Unani doctors from Delhi who contributed to the camp and urged the Haryana government to prioritise the reopening of Akhera Unani Medical College and establish Unani departments in district medical colleges. He also requested that vacant Unani Medical Officer positions be filled through regular recruitment. Dr. Zakir thanked the BJP government for approving 84 Unani Medical Officer posts out of 1,085 sanctioned posts for Ayurvedic Medical Officers.
Dr. Mohammad Arshad Ghiyas, General Secretary of AIUTC Haryana, welcomed the guests and noted that most patients in the camp were treated for seasonal ailments, joint pain, and skin conditions – areas where Unani medicine is particularly effective.
Other notable participants included Dr. Shakeel Ahmed, Israr Ahmed Ajini, Hakeem Atta-ur-Rehman Ajmali (Managing Director of A&S Pharmacy), Aleem Ansari, Imran Qanooji, Hakeem Murtaza Dehlvi, Hakeem Aftab Alam, Dr. Habibullah, Dr. Aslam Ali, Dr. Mohiuddin, Dr. Mohammad Qasim, Dr. Abdul Salam, Dr. Mohammad Umar, Hafiz Akram Ali, and Mohammad Arbaaz.
