The virtual ceremony was organised by Vaidyaratnam Group as part of its founders commemoration day.

Nesari said that a whopping 99.99 per cent of patients who were treated for COVID had recovered well at AIIAs COVID-care centre.

Sharing her experience about treating COVID patients on the second day of the conference, Nesari said each and every patient was supported by yoga, diet, lifestyle, recreation along with technology.

“So we have retained the classical crux, the principle theory and practices of Ayurveda, developed our ownholistic treatment protocol and its all supported by conventional bio-medical tools of investigation like MRI, CT Scan, ventilators, RT-PCR test and oxygen therapists.
