He said before 2017, the healthcare policies in India were curative, but under Ayushman Arogya Mandir, there was a shift from a selective approach to health care to delivering a comprehensive range of services spanning preventive, promotive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative care. He said the Symbiosis Arogyadham was a prime example of Ayushman Arogya Mandir, where state-of-the-art facilities were available to patients at no cost.
Dr SB Mujumdar, founder and president of Symbiosis and chancellor of Symbiosis International University (SIU), presided over the function. Mujumdar said if India wanted to become a Vishwaguru, it should be backed by spirituality and the ideology of Vasudaiva Kutumbakam. Dr Rajiv Yeravdekar, provost of the faculty of medical and health sciences, SIU, and Dr Vidya Yeravdekar, pro-chancellor, SIU, were also present.
