Ayurveda', Is Now All Set to Reap the Benefits of Ayurveda Through Health Tourism Chapter – 1 Introduction Kerala, the name almost synonymous with the word 'Ayurveda', is now all set to reap the benefits of Ayurveda through health tourism. The reason for this is the popularity of Ayurvedic treatments and the manner in which Kerala is marketing Ayurveda in medical tourism. Kerala is not only a beautiful destination in Southern India known for its scenic beaches and serene backwaters. Of late Kerala has gained international attention for Medical Tourism and is becoming a popular international medical tourism destination. Kerala is famous for its alternative medical therapies such as Ayurveda, which help to rejuvenate and revitalize the body. What many tourists have now discovered is that Kerala has a pool of trained doctors and nurses and an excellent network of hospitals that offer international standard treatments at very affordable prices. Previously Indians working abroad, such as residents of Kerala working in the Persian Gulf countries, would return to India for medical treatment. Now International patients too have realized the advantages of traveling to Kerala and the medical tourism industry has begun to take off in a big way. Faced with exorbitant fees for procedures such as cardiac surgery, dentistry and cosmetic surgery in their home countries, patients from the West and the Middle East have begun looking at India and Kerala in particular. Indian doctors have established themselves as highly skilled and conscientious caregivers worldwide. Many doctors who have trained or worked abroad have returned to India to work here. Their reputation has led to the growth of the Medical Tourism industry in Kerala. Kerala Travel Tourism offers tour packages that combine medical treatment with a restful holiday in Kerala India. The world-class hospital facilities, pre and post-operative care and pleasant climate make your medical treatment and recovery in Kerala a positive experience. Some Medical Tourism options in Kerala are given below. 1 The Genesis In the 1950s, Kerala had a State Hospitality Department. However, the functions of the department were confined to running of guest house, upkeep of residential bungalows of ministers and providng hospitality and other arrangements of VVIPs. At that time, there were not many hotels where foreign tourists could stay. Hence, they used to get accommodation in government guest house. "But, in the 1960s, the traffic of tourists started to increase. It was then the government realised that there is a lot of potential in the hotel sector. So, a separate Department of Tourism came into being," explains B Suman, Director, Department of Tourism, Government of Kerala. Soon Kerala realised that it had a huge market for health tourism. Tourists would automatically be inclined towards Ayurveda. It was a natural attraction; the credit goes to the positive results on health improvement and no side effects of Ayurveda. Suman says, "About 10-12 years back, Kerala started with the task of promoting Ayurveda on a larger scale. And since then it has been a wonderful journey. So much so, now we don't even need to market Ayurveda from scratch, it has become a global term." The promotion of Ayurveda in health tourism started in 1994 and the Kerala Tourism Development Corporation (KTDC) started Ayurvedic health centres in its premium properties like Hotel Samudra, Kovalam during the same period. "KTDC has tied up with the most reputed Ayurveda treatment providers and hence the authority of doctors and the quality of the medicines used are not compromised. The response has been encouraging," says Raj Mohan, Marketing Manager, KTDC. Besides India, the countries inclined towards Ayurveda are UK, France, Spain, Italy and also some Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE. However, the award for the most number of tourists coming to India is bagged by Germany. And the growth rate of the tourists flocking for Ayurveda is increasing at the rate of around 20-25 per cent per annum. Promotion Plans KTDC has recently opened up an Ayurvedic resort called 'Thanneermukkom Ayurvedic Lake Resort' located beside the pristine backwater at Thannermukkom. "Here, we have tied up with the Keraleeya Ayurveda Samajam, a society formed by the Maharaja of Zamorine of Calicut in 1903 to promote and protect Ayurveda, headed by Padmasree Dr Rajagopal. Unlike the usual Ayurvedic spa/centres attached to a hotel, this resort combines authentic Ayurvedic treatment with leisure," adds Raj. The patient's medical records are thoroughly examined by a panel of expert doctors and treatment is suggested after verifying the medical conditions. Thus, the unique feature of the resort is that it provides treatment just like a fully- equipped Ayurveda hospital without reducing the leisure element by way of location, property etc. Advantage Kerala Kerala has the advantages of recognition worldwide as one of the ten must-see destinations, as described by the National Geographic Traveller and a developed healthcare delivery system, which enables the state to attract patients from other countries. KTDC has tied-up with the Cochin-based Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS) too, the obvious reason is that AIMS has been receiving patients from 16 countries, including European countries, and recently there is a steady increase in the number of patients coming down for Ayurveda. Through the joint venture it will be possible to offer the patients quality medical care at AIMS and tourism options for both the patients and bystanders through KTDC. "For promotional purposes, our hospital has a tie-up with Hutch, Citibank, and ICICI Prudential, wherein we provide various concessions and special packages to their customers," says Sugana Kuroop, Corporate Communications Officer, Kerala Vaidyashala, a 200- bed hospital in Aluva, Kerala. "We also run a 300-bed Ayurvedic section at the Agra branch of Apollo Hospital". Apart from this, holding seminars and conferences throughout India forms a part of the marketing. "We have a tie-up with a Korean University. It's a exchange programme, through which the university will promote our brand and in turn we will market their various study programmes," says Sree Kumar, Marketing Manager, Vaidyaratnam Nursing Home. Vaidyaratnam has more than 1,000 branches all over India, from which 20 are in Kerala, with a 35-bed facility (30 rooms and 5 cottages) each. Kerala has recently won the Best State Award for tourism promotion from the Government of India. When asked about the role of Ayurveda in this, Suman answers diplomatically, "Kerala tourism basically revolves around four things -beaches, back waters, hill stations and Ayurveda. So, giving credit to only Ayurveda will not be fair. It has contributed as much as the other factors." Classification Of Centres The Department of Tourism has classified all the Ayurvedic centres in two categories-Green Leaf and Olive Leaf. The department does not take responsibility of any centre which is not classified in either of the above. "The most difficult part is letting the tourists know about this classification. I make sure to stress this particular point whenever I am in any travel mart abroad," says Suman, who adds that almost five lakh foreign tourists come to Kerala annually for Ayurvedic treatments. Marketing Strategies Kerala recently participated in the Information Technology Business (ITB), 2006. Every year, there are some new additions to promote Ayurveda. This year, it was Ayurveda Masseur, where a quick Ayurvedic massage was given to foreigners, "To give them a taste of what exactly is Ayurveda and how wondrous it can be. And if they want more, they can always visit Kerala for it," avers Suman.Apart from the masseurs, Kerala is always organising road shows all around the world for the promotion of Ayurveda along with modern medicine. The latest one being at France, others at Berlin and London. They will continue with the road shows in the future also. The best marketing can be done through World Trade Marts, next comes print advertising and then the electronic media. "We get maximum exposure and positive responses at the marts abroad," adds Geeta Ramesh, Managing Director, Kairali Group of Resorts and Spa, who says that the Kairali Group has been actively involved with the marketing of Ayurveda since 1989. Ayurvedic Resorts Per Se While all the hotels and resorts in Kerala are now including Ayurveda in their services, there are some resorts which are exclusively reserved for Ayurvedic treatments. "We offer the package of Ayurveda with yoga and meditation included. It is not a compulsion for the tourists to avail the other two facilities, if they do not want to," says Geeta. She does not forget to add that 90 per cent of the tourists visiting her resorts are from abroad, as Indians are not too much interested in the Ayurvedic treatments. When asked about how many of the total visitors at Kairali Resorts come exclusively for Ayurveda, she promptly replies, "All of them". Food Plays A Key Role In Ayurveda, food is given utmost importance. "We serve only vegetarian food while the tourists are undergoing Ayurvedic treatments for arthritis and paralysis." Also, the contents of the meal differ from person to person depending on the kind of problems they are facing. "Protein-rich food is given at our hospital and we also serve non-vegetarian food, but only grilled or baked," adds Dr Mohan Babu, Chief of Staff, Krishnendu Ayurvedic Hospital, a chain of two 40-bed hospitals. ` With so many Ayurvedic hospitals all over Kerala, there is a possibility that the tourists will choose them over resorts. But Geeta says, "In resorts, tourists can just stay for a few hours, get treated and go enjoy their holidays. But in the hospitals, people feel like they are really very sick and they cannot move around freely. Even the atmosphere at the resorts is more relaxing and that helps in quick recovery." But there is another aspect to this.

  • Malnutrition Related Diabetes-Review
    MALNUTRITION RELATED DIABETES-REVIEW V.C. Mathew Roy INTRODUCTION History and distribution Pancreatic calculi were first described by R. de graaf (1664), and diabetes associated with pancreatic calculi was first reported by Thomas Cawley ( 1788)1. The pathology of chronic pancreatitis was first documented by Riedle in 1896. Assmann (1912) recognized pancreatic calculi radiologically. Elman et al (1929) related changes in serum amylase with pancreatitis, and introduced this as a diagnostic test in inflammatory disorders of pancreas. Zuidema (1955) from Indonesia described the clinical features of patients with malnutrition, calcification of the pancreas and diabetes. From Kerala, Geevarghese ( 1962) reported a large series of patients with chronic pancreatitis, calculi and diabetes. This initiated a countrywide awareness of calcific pancreatitis and diabetes. Following this, case reports from Karnataka9, Tamil Nadu4-6, Orissa7,8, Maharashtra62 and again Kerala9, were published. As early as 1952, Dr. R. Kesavan Nair from Trivandrum presented a paper at the annual meeting of the Association of Surgeons of India describing surgery on twenty three cases of pancreatic calculi. Globally, similar cases of pancreatic diabetes have been reported from Nigeria, Uganda, West Indies, Kenya, Ceylon, Madagascar, Indonesia and Zaire10. Various synonyms used for this condition are : tropical diabetes; pancreatic diabetes; tropicai calcific pancreatitis; tropical juvenile pancreatic syndrome; chronic calcific pancreatitis of the tropics; idiopathic chronic calcific pancreatitis of the tropics; non endocrine pancreatic syndrome, non-alcoholic tropical pancreatitis and pancreatogenous diabetes, ketosis resistant diabetes of the young, Z type, J type, M type, etc. A random population survey in Trivandrum showed the prevalence of diabetes was 1.5-2%11.
