August 2019 29 27 Yoga Sudha Yoga 30 Yoga Sudha 28 August 2019 31 My Dear Brothers and Sisters, In modern times, management of noncommunicable diseases has become an enormous challenge to the medical fraternity worldwide. It is increasingly being recognized that non-communicable diseases are multifactorial problems and therefore the solutions to these have to be multi-faceted. Evidence based approach is of utmost importance to provide the best possible care for the patients.

Equally important is to develop cost-effective treatments. Modern Medicine, Yoga and other AYUSH systems of medicine approach patient care in their own unique ways. Each system has got its own advantages. Hence it is necessary to explore how these systems of medicine can complement each other in order to provide best solutions for the management of non- communicable diseases.

Hence, we have selected a theme “Yoga as Lifestyle Medicine” for 23rd INCOFYRA. This will make an effort to integrate Indian medicine and Modern Medicine with Yoga as basis for integrative medicine by bringing prominent researchers and doctors from all these fields under on one platform. The focus of 23rd INCOFYRA will be on reversal of Diabetes and Heart disease with Yoga as lifestyle intervention.

We welcome you all to our Prashanti Kutiram campus.

With Love Dr. H R Nagendra President, 23rd INCOFYRA President, VYASA and Chancellor, S-VYASA University
