Raj: Patients diagnosed with help of astrology at this hospital

Rajasthan's Sangeeta Memorial Hospital diagnoses patients with the help of astrology. Patients are subjected to astrological evaluation before treatment starts at the hospital.

Jaipur:Unique Sangeeta Memorial Hospital, situated in the Pink City, is now diagnosing patients with the help of astrology. Doctors here said that using astrology in medical science is not only helping them detect the disease but is also providing required psychological counselling to the patients.

This Astro-Medical Hospital is situated in the Jaipur's Vaishali Nagar area.

"Here we are trying to incorporate astrology into medical sciences. It surely helps us detect the disease among the patients. In Indian culture, astrology holds a lot of importance. We have one astrologer here Pandit Akhilesh Sharma. When a patient comes, he is subjected to astrological evaluation & astrological diagnosis. The medical & astrological diagnoses are then compared. Treatment is done with advanced technology but we take the help of astrology for diagnosis. Patients are satisfied," said Dr Mahesh Kulkarni, Surgeon.

"Till now we have attended 70 cases and the astrologer had predicted the diseases exactly same what was detected during the medical diagnosis," he added.

At present, a total of 22 staff members including five doctors are working in the hospital. Apart from that, Pandit Akhilesh Sharma is also a part of the team.

"I see 25-30 kundli every day. We use astrology for diagnosis only, for treatment we use Medical Science. We do it so that diagnosis is correct and no time is wasted," said Pandit Akhilesh Sharma.

This team is preparing a new course with the integration of medical sciences and astrology streams which will be called astronomical sciences. Besides, this institute will soon start training sessions for the other staff members in the same discipline.
