Apollo AyurVaid Chief Addresses Integrative Medicine Debate
Imagine doctors working together, each with their own special skills, to help people feel better.
That's what integrative medicine is like.
It's not about mixing different types of medicine in a confusing way.
It's about doctors from different medical backgrounds, such as allopathy and ayurveda, working together to take care of patients.
The leader of Apollo AyurVAID Hospitals, says this is the future of healthcare, and that it can help people with multiple health problems.
The company is expanding with new centers to provide this kind of care, aiming to grow its services to reach more people.
