Months after AYUSH Ministry recommended

Karnataka Health and Medical Education Minister, K Sudhakar, too on Wednesday
expressed a need to develop medicine for COVID-19 in Homeopathy, reported PTI.
“Arsenicum album is said to be effective to
control COVID-19, but there is a need to develop proper medicine for Corona in
Homeopathy.” Sudhakar was quoted as saying by his office in a release.

was widely used when typhoid was detected,” he added.
Highlighting the importance of research in medical science, Sudhakar said there is a need to focus more on research in medical education as India has become a mere importer and manufacturer.
