Lucknow: The AYUSH Department of Vivekanand Polyclinic and Institute of Medical Sciences organised a one-day free AYUSH consultation and awareness camp on Saturday, February 28, 2026. The camp was held from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and witnessed enthusiastic participation from patients seeking alternative and holistic treatment options.
The medical camp was conducted under the leadership of Swami Muktinathanand Ji Maharaj. Patients benefited from free registration, medical consultation, and, wherever possible, complimentary medicines. The initiative was part of the institution’s ongoing commitment to promoting traditional systems of medicine and making affordable healthcare accessible to all sections of society.
The camp marked the 28th consecutive AYUSH outreach programme conducted by the institute. A wide range of services were offered under various streams of AYUSH, including Ayurveda Panchakarma, Yoga and Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Unani, Acupuncture, Acupressure, Reiki and Pranic Healing.
Patients suffering from joint pain, arthritis, spinal disorders, skin diseases such as vitiligo (white patches) and psoriasis, hair-related issues, acne and cosmetic concerns, sexual health problems, obesity, diabetes, heart ailments, respiratory disorders, digestive problems and liver-related conditions availed themselves of the services provided by the AYUSH specialists.
According to the organisers, the camp aimed not only to provide treatment but also to spread awareness about the benefits of traditional Indian systems of medicine. Doctors and therapists offered detailed consultations, lifestyle guidance and preventive health advice alongside prescribing medicines.
A total of 126 patients benefited from free medical consultations during the camp. Among them, 24 patients consulted under Ayurveda, 63 under Homeopathy, 28 under Yoga and Naturopathy, four under Pranic Healing and seven under Acupuncture. The steady turnout reflected growing public interest in integrative and alternative healthcare approaches.
Officials of the institute stated that the AYUSH Department has been consistently working to promote public health awareness and expand access to affordable treatment, particularly among economically weaker sections. The department also conducts outreach programmes in rural areas to disseminate Ayurvedic and other traditional medical systems more widely, providing medicines and related facilities at minimal or no cost.
They further noted that at a time when the cost of modern medical treatment is steadily rising, the institute continues to organise various camps to ensure that simple, affordable and accessible treatment options are available to poor and needy patients. The initiative aligns with the broader vision of integrating traditional healing practices into mainstream healthcare delivery.
Patients expressed satisfaction with the services and appreciated the opportunity to receive expert advice without financial burden. Many attendees said such camps are particularly beneficial for chronic conditions that require long-term management and lifestyle modifications.
The successful organisation of the 28th AYUSH camp underscores Vivekanand Polyclinic’s ongoing dedication to community service and holistic healthcare. The institute plans to continue organising similar camps in the future to promote preventive health, wellness awareness and cost-effective treatment solutions across Lucknow and surrounding rural regions.
