At the inaugural session, Patanjali University Chancellor Swami Ramdev made a historic announcement: Patanjali Ayurved Hospital will shortly partner top medical establishments AIIMS, Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital, and Sir Ganga Ram Hospital to provide affordable, integrated care blending ancient wisdom with evidence-based state-of-the-art medicine.

Acharya Balkrishna, Vice Chancellor of Patanjali University, noted that Ayurveda’s strength lies in its holistic and global approach, unlike some region-bound modern practices. He reiterated Patanjali’s commitment to combating the commercial exploitation of healthcare through accessible, integrative, and research-backed treatments.
The conference invited prominent dignitaries such as Prof. Srinivas Barkhedi (Vice Chancellor, Central Sanskrit University), Dr. B.N. Gangadhar (Padma Shri recipient and Chairman, National Medical Commission), and Prof. Vishal Mago (AIIMS Rishikesh). Researchers from reputed institutions such as AIIMS, Jadavpur University, and Patanjali Ayurved College shared research on integrative diagnostics for COPD and fistula.
The conference started off with a traditional ceremonial welcoming, consisting of lamp lighting, garlanding the guests, and devotional hymns. A parallel poster symposium conducted by senior medical educators provided academic substance to the event.
With the combination of ancient Ayurvedic concepts and scientific validation, the "Anamayam" conference is being seen as a significant step towards collective, affordable, and inclusive healthcare for everyone.
