The
Arya
Vaidya
Chikitsa
Sala
was
established
in
1924
at
Kottakkal.
The
main
wing
of
Arya
Vaidya
Sala's
charitable
activities,
the
hospital
provides
free
Ayurvedic
and
Allopathic
treatments
to
the
poor
and
needy
patients.
It
also
operates
a
Maternity
Home,
a
Panchakarma
Ward,
a
special
OP
for
Cancer,
and
a
Poison
Treatment
Ward.The
establishment
of
Charitable
Hospital
is
very
significant
not
only
in
the
history
of
Arya
Vaidya
Sala
but
in
the
history
of
the
evolution
of
Ayurvedic
system
of
health
care
also.
P.S.
Varier
established
this
facility
for
imparting
practical
instruction
to
the
students
of
his
Ayurveda
College.
He
set
up
an
Allopathic
wing
also,
to
function
separately
from
Ayurvedic
wing,
for
giving
lessons
in
anatomy,
physiology
and
surgery.
These
wings
are
continuing
to
function
parallely
even
now,
but
on
a
much
larger
scale.
The
patients
can
opt
either
Ayurvedic
or
Allopathic
course
of
treatment.
About
1000
patients
attend
the
out
patient
unit
every
day.
Allopathic
drugs
are
bought
from
the
market
by
Arya
Vaidya
Sala
and
given
free
to
the
patients.
The
classical
Ayurvedic
medicines
are
also
given
free
to
the
patients.
The
IP
unit,
which
can
accommodate
about
160
patients
at
a
given
time,
provides
medicines,
therapy,
food
and
accommodation
free
of
cost
to
needy
patients.
More
importantly,
the
Charitable
Hospital
facility,
over
the
period
of
time,
has
expanded
its
areas
of
operation.
It
has
become
a
centre
for
clinical
research.
Cancer,
diabetes,
rheumatoid
and
osteo-arthritis
are
the
areas
in
which
clinical
research
is
being
carried
out.
There
is
an
Ethical
Committee
and
Clinical
Research
Committee
which
supervise
the
research
activities
