This Jaipur ‘Astrology Hospital’ Uses Kundlis For Diagnosis
The Quint could not independently verify the claims of the doctor or the astrologer.
As bizarre as it may sound, a hospital in Jaipur is using astrology to give medical diagnoses. To be precise, it looks at the kundli aka ‘birth horoscope’ of a patient to ascertain the disease.
Unique Sangeeta Memorial Hospital uses astrology, as it allegedly helps in “faster diagnosis process” and “provides psychological counselling to the patients”.
How Does This Work?
Talking to ANI, astrologer Akhilesh Sharma said:
The astrologer claims that they can predict how long they will take to cure the disease, what kind of medication is required to cure it, and be able to say whether the patient will survive.
The Hospital supposedly has medical doctors on hand, who provide treatment based on the astrologers’ diagnoses. Allegedly, the astrologers’ diagnoses have been cross-checked using doctors’ medical diagnoses of patients.
Dr Mahesh Kulkarni, a surgeon at the hospital, told ANI that the hospital has diagnosed 70 cases correctly as they have matched with their medical diagnoses.
The bizarreness doesn’t end there, though. The hospital is also planning to introduce ‘vedic treatment’ along with homeopathy and Ayurveda, and hire nurses to perform prayers for the patients’ health.
The Quint could not independently verify the claims of the doctor or the astrologer. Moreover, it isn’t clear whether the doctor or the astrologer have any medical degrees.
