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. covId-19: research evIdence Figure 1: Dr Subhash Kaushik, Director General, giving the welcome address in the inauguration session of the scientific convention Figure 2: A scientific session in progress 314 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 Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy ¦ Volume 16 ¦ Issue 4 ¦ Oct-Dec 2022 Kondle, et al.: WHD 2022 - Conference Report 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. role of homoeoPathy In lIfestyle dIseases The session was chaired by Dr Sangeeta A.

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. acknowledgement We acknowledge the presentations made by all the speakers and acknowledge all the moderators and rapporteurs for compiling the report of the conference.
