"I requested the AYUSH ministry to allocate a hospital in Dhule to serve the people, and accordingly, a 50-bed facility was approved," said Bachhav. She added that the district's civil surgeon recently finalized the construction site. The chosen location is a 2-acre plot near the civil hospital. Construction will begin after the demolition of existing dilapidated staff quarters. Bachhav highlighted the benefits of the new hospital, stating, "The hospital will be a boon for the people of Dhule district as they will have Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy treatments delivered alongside allopathy treatment." As part of promoting AYUSH treatment, the hospital will focus on treatments based on traditional Indian medicine, though surgeries and procedures based on modern medical practices are also provided to the patients based on the requirements. Diagnostic services will also be provided like any other regular hospital at the facility. According to Bachhav, people in rural areas generally look for household remedies, some of which may not be trustworthy. But with the AYUSH hospital in place, they will find it easier to accept treatment related to Ayurveda.
