enhancing research aptitudes of young homoeopaths, increasing clinical proficiency
of practitioners, encouraging scientists from pure and applied sciences to associate
in fundamental research and also inviting government as well as non government
institutions to patronize research in Homoeopathy. About 800 delegates from
across the country, mainly practitioners, teaching faculties, postgraduate students,
Ph.D. scholars and scientists attended the summit. Scientific sessions on nature of
homoeopathic medicine, Evidence and Mechanism of its action were presented by
molecular biologists, engineers, physicists, immunologists, pharmacologists, chemists,
nano‑technologists, zoologists, homeopaths and conventional doctors from some of
the premium Universities. The conference ended with panel discussion moderated
by Dr. Raj K. Manchanda and Dr. Rajesh Shah. It was recommended to encourage
more scientific research and better documentation in Homoeopathy and to review the
existing approaches in practice.
