The hospital has roped in Pundit Akhilesh Sharma who says medical science and Astrology are blended in the technique adopted by the health facility.

"I see 25-30 kundli daily. We use astrology for diagnosis only, for treatment we use medical science. We do it so that diagnosis is correct and no time is lost," he added.

Surgeon, Dr Mahesh Kulkarni seems satisfied with the technique who revealed that when a patient arrives at the hospital, he is subjected to astrological evaluation & astrological diagnosis following which medical & astrological diagnoses are compared.

Treatment is done with advanced technology but we take the help of astrology for diagnosis. Patients are satisfied," he was quoted as saying by IndiaTimes.
