Constituent Assembly on Ayurveda
...•the word
"medical" that is being used in India for some time past has been
laying too much stress on the medicinal side, of the health problem of this
country. The word 'medical' is a misnomer. It simply means medication and
therefore we have come to a position when we feel that the administration of
the medical department could only be seen and looked at from the point of view
of what medicines are useful in the country. I would submit, Sir, that having
studied the medical question from different points of view, I have come to the
conclusion that it is the duty of the State to see that every individual,
every. Human being who possesses of body, must know something about the
preservation, protection and prolongation
of life. The word "medical" is a wrong word. I would submit that the word
in India was Ayurveda, science of life.
