Marking the World Health Day, the Secretary General of All India Unani Tibbi Congress, Dr. Syed Ahmad Khan, stated that every possible effort must be made to establish peace in the world. He appealed to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations to fulfil their responsibilities and come forward with the international community to promote peace and public health.
Dr. Khan said that wars not only result in the loss of human lives but also create serious health crises. Expressing concern over the current situation in the West Asia, he warned that if conflicts continue, their impact could spread across the globe, leading to very dangerous consequences.
On the occasion of World Health Day, he urged for strengthening efforts toward peace, security, and immediate measures to ensure a ceasefire.
Emphasising the importance of traditional medicine, Dr. Khan said that promoting Unani medicine is essential for maintaining good health over the long term. He noted that while other systems of treatment may sometimes provide temporary or emergency relief, Unani medicine offers a more natural and effective system for sustaining overall physical health, maintaining natural balance, and treating various diseases.
He further demanded that the government and relevant institutions take appropriate steps to promote Unani medicine so that people are encouraged to adopt natural and holistic methods of treatment.
