NRI German Doctorto set up Rs.550 mn homeopathy hospital

Bhopal, Feb 14, 2005

A non-resident Indian (NRI) doctor Monday said he plans to set up a Rs.550 million ($12 million) homeopathy hospital, college and research centre in Madhya Pradesh.

Germany-based homeopath Rabi Roy, who has met Chief Minister Babulal Gaur in this regard, told reporters: "The plan envisages quality education, creation of healthy conditions and organic farming."

The doctor said he has selected land for the proposed project.

He had earlier planned to set up the hospital in the US. "But my love for India forced me to change my plans," he added.

Roy, who is in India to help tsunami victims, said: "The government should make the affected fishermen financially independent by giving them fishing nets."

He protested against a plan to transfer the fishermen to safer places away from the coastline, saying: "The victims would like to be closer to their place of business."

Instead of taking up speedy rehabilitation work for the victims, government agencies were busy conducting time-consuming surveys, he added.

The head of a social organisation, Surya Foundation for Homeopathy in the World, Roy has written 28 books on homeopathy and runs a chain of clinics in Germany. IANS
