“…To recognize the share of Ayurveda in easing out the disease burden and to utilize the huge patient input available at Ayurvedic outdoors, recognition of the clinical entities in dual diagnostic terms, both Ayurvedic as well as modern is required.

Despite their historical praise, specialty studies and practices are not generally seen in current Ayurvedic education and practice. Current Ayurvedic education by and large is devoid of training programs focusing upon specialty based health care delivery. This makes many disappointed who look at Ayurveda for a focused and specialized health care. The consequences of this gap in demand and supply are alarmingly obvious. With its unfocused health care approach, the Ayurvedic health care remains generic for large section of its delivery. There are no referral settings in Ayurveda to get a higher level of care better than the one offered at a primary health care setting. This apparent lack of expertise care in Ayurveda shifts it as an alternative health care used only on the instances of failure of other trusted options. Specialty clinical practices in Ayurveda seem highly important in order to build the trust and to enhance its quality of health care delivery. Our preliminary observations from a deemed arthritis clinic at an Ayurveda teaching hospital, visited by a diverse joint disease population carves a path in this direction and proposes the possibilities of using it as a template for the qualitative improvements in Ayurvedic health care delivery in the country in various clinical areas.
