research evIdence In PublIc health
The session was chaired by Dr Raj K. Manchanda, Director,
Ayush, Government of Delhi and Dr Kanwal Sethi, former
Advisor (Homoeopathy), Ministry of Ayush. The speakers
discussed different public health approaches developed
and implemented over the past few years to enhance the
utilisation of homoeopathy in public health, including
health promotion and disease prevention. CCRH, Delhi
Government and local non-governmental organisations have
conducted a number of public health programmes in research
mode. These are on specific conditions such as COVID-19,
Post-COVID Functional Disability and Dengue, identified
population groups such as geriatrics and adolescents and
some pre-identified areas. Public participation is needed
to create consciousness for homoeopathy, which can be
expanded by various models, such as the involvement of
healthcare workers from within the community to contribute
to curative, preventive and promotive care, and promote
homoeopathy as a cost-effective way of treatment in public
health.

The session was chaired by Dr Anil Khurana, Chairman
of NCH and Dr Kanjanksha Ghosh, Chairman, Ethical
Committee, CCRH and former Director, National Institute of
Immunohaematology, Indian Council of Medical Research.
The studies presented revealed that Arsenicum album 30C,
recommended by the Ministry of Ayush as a homoeopathic
prophylactic for COVID-19, provided consistent protection
against COVID-19 infection. Immunomodulatory potential
of Arsenic album 30C was seen in cell culture-based studies
taking RAW 264.7 cell as a representative of macrophage
with a significant increase in the expression of innate immune
markers such as TLR3 and TLR7 and effector molecules such
as MYD88 and NFkβ. Another study was about how add-on
homoeopathic treatment along with the standard of care for
COVID-19 reduced morbidity and mortality of respiratory
distress in severe COVID-19 patients. An in vitro study

presented in the session identified a positive role of Cinchona
Mother Tincture as an antiviral against the coronavirus.
evIdence-based case rePorts
The session was chaired by Dr M.P. Arya, Member, Scientific
Advisory Board (SAB), CCRH, and former Principal,
D.S. Homoeopathic Medical College, Pune. The session
encouraged young scientists to showcase their successful
cases and to sensitise the students and practitioners on
how to present the cases they treat in their hospitals,
OPDs and clinics. Cases of warts, vitiligo, manic episode,
infertility, prurigo nodularis, alopecia areata, nasal polyps,
endometrial polyps and erythrodermic psoriasis treated with
individualised homoeopathy were presented. Assessment
of case response on Modified Naranjo Criteria to validate
treatment effects was discussed in detail. The criteria provide
an objective causal assessment of treatment response, thereby
enhancing credibility and supporting evidence in favour of
homoeopathy. Health information systems such as Ayush
Health management and information system and research
database like Ayush research portal are further initiatives
by the Ministry of Ayush to enhance the credibility of
homoeopathic treatment and other Ayush systems. The
homoeopathic Clinical Case repository (HCCR) developed
by CCRH permits the publication of cases treated with
homoeopathy to create metadata of clinical cases. The details
of the HCCR portal were also presented in the valedictory
session of the convention.
homoeoPathIc drug develoPment: Issues and
challenges
The session was chaired by Dr J.D. Daryani, Chairperson
of the Special Committee on Drug Proving, CCRH, Dr S.P.
Singh, former Advisor, Homoeopathy, Ministry of Ayush;
former Director CCRH; Chairperson of Special Committee of
Drug Standardisation and Dr S.K. Tiwari; former Principal,
Fr. Muller Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital,
Mangalore.
The discussion in the session was focused on various aspects
of drug development, a drug standardisation, proving drugs in
healthy human volunteers and verifying symptoms appearing
during drug proving in clinical settings. It was opined that a
uniform methodology for drug development would ensure that
more drugs are added in homoeopathy, whose authenticity and
quality are assured, with reliable pathogenesis, to ensure its
acceptance and usage by profession.
InteractIve meets wIth PrIncIPals of colleges
The sessions were chaired by Dr Anil Khurana, Chairman,
NCH and Dr MP Arya, Member, Scientific Advisory Board
(SAB), CCRH, former Principal, D.S. Homoeopathic
Medical College, Pune. Evidence from the world shows
that the most effective teaching and learning processes at
the higher education level occur in an environment with a
strong culture of research and knowledge creation. NCH
held consultative meets with the principals and faculty
of the homoeopathic colleges to identify strategies for
innovation in education. These include the introduction of
research methodology and biostatistics at undergraduation
and postgraduation levels, integration of e-contents into
teaching-learning, online and digital education by ensuring
equitable use of technology, undertaking collaborations,
introducing elective courses for student personal and
professional development. Furthermore, the hospitals
associated with the colleges need to enhance OPD and IPD
services and modernise hospital administration and services
to provide wholistic quality care. It is imperative to build
upon the capacity of the organisations by developing the art
of prioritising problems, training for knowledge, skill selfefficiency, self-confidence and behaviour changes.
state homoeoPathIc board’s/councIl’s
regIstrars’ meet
The session was chaired by Dr Anil Khurana, Chairman NCH.
‘One Nation, One Registration’ wherein the National Register,
its procedure of formation and listing of homoeopathic
practitioners after receiving data from respective State Boards/
Councils, along with other aspects related to registration of
practitioners, was discussed. The need for e-registration and
synchronisation between state and national registers so that
hassles towards registration may be reduced with optimum use
of resources at the time of crisis was also discussed. NCH Act
2020 envisages a robust medical education system to deliver
quality homoeopathic medical professionals, transparent
assessment of medical institutions, maintenance of the national
register for homoeopathy and enforces high ethical standards in
all aspects of medical services. The session had deliberations
on the duties of a homoeopathic practitioner towards the
profession, patients and society.
homoeoPathIc educatIon and PractIce
The session was chaired by Dr Raj K. Manchanda, Director,
AYUSH, Govt. of NCT of Delhi and Prof. (Dr) Subhas Singh,
Director, National Institute of Homoeopathy. The speakers
discussed the need for quality homoeopathic education,
where homoeopathic colleges could be equipped to provide
world standard curriculums delivered by highly qualified and
experienced teachers using the latest delivery techniques.
Relevant technologies can be used in this expanding field,
including online lectures, examination, telemedicine, virtual
reality, computer-assisted learning (flipped classrooms), mobile
devices (personal digital assistants) and digital medical records.

Homoeopathy. Speakers discussed that scientific evidence
is the most important area where dedication is required to
promote Homoeopathy in the world. Outcomes of studies on
hypertension, breast fibroadenoma, diabetic foot ulcer and
hypolipidemia were reported. It was deliberated as to how
homoeopathy can be applied meaningfully for all, especially
for elderly population, in the prevention, treatment and
rehabilitation of lifestyle conditions. Lifestyle measures such
as a plant-based diet, exercise, sports and mental training can
be combined with homoeopathy to achieve the best possible
outcomes and reduce the use of side-effect-laden drugs.
and to formulate future strategies for the development of
homoeopathy. There is an imminent need to initiate a dialogue
among the major stakeholders of homoeopathy, which will
address much-needed practice standards in clinical research
informatics, data standards in clinical research, policy issues,
educational standards and instructional resources. This can
be achieved by merging clinical care delivery and research as
a part of a changing paradigm in global healthcare delivery
in the context of rapid technological innovations. A necessity
to identify and propose strategic actions towards an effective
and efficient inclusion of homoeopathy in integrative care is
indispensable.
valedIctory sessIon
An open forum was held to conclude the 2-day convention,
wherein the participants presented their views and experiences.
The participants suggested that innovation is the need of the
hour in research and education. Educational institutes need
to adopt information technology and automation in teaching.
There should be more active collaborations in the profession.
Research outcomes should be translated into clinical practice
more effectively.
This convention was an opportunity to review the path
trodden so far and achievements in the field of homoeopathy
conclusIon
The deliberations during the scientific convention aimed at
enhancing the acceptability of homoeopathy by the public in
general and giving insights into a future roadmap for advancing
homoeopathy as the first choice for people’s wellness.
