It seldom happens that one fights a battle against all odds. But those who tell you a story of commitment, grit, conviction, belief, and sacrifice that become eternal in human history.
Meet Dr P. K. Gyan, whose mission is to make HOMEOPATHY a recognised branch of medical science as hope and cure for chronically ill patients. He endeavours to treat even the patient who has lost all hope through Homeopathy; an effort the proponents of Homeopathy always dreamt of achieving worldwide.
Dr Gyan works steadfastly to remove prejudices from the minds of his patients that Homeopathy is a time-consuming treatment. He takes pains to explain to his patients that Homeopathy can help in speedy recovery. A majority of Dr Gyan’s patients and their relatives, after receiving successful treatments, end up vouching that Homeopathy therapy is the best treatment they have ever received.
Patients visiting Dr Gyan’s clinic have observed that the medication and diagnosis have quickly impacted them without any side effects. Dr Gyan reiterates that the quality of diagnosis alone is not that useful in achieving the desired result. It must be aided by the quality of medicines, which makes Homeopathy a more effective and acceptable treatment.
He emphasises that emotional well-being and faith also act as medicine and enhance the effectiveness of the treatment process. Those who have worked with him and observed him for years admit that it is not just his professional commitment but his passion to spend every bit of his time for the welfare of humankind that makes him a humane doctor. He draws immense satisfaction and solace when patients in agony and despair sport a smile after being treated by Dr Gyan’s way of Homeopathy. He has his own approach to diagnosing diseases. He offers treatment for kidney failure, neuro-related disorders, cervical problems, spine-related conditions and many other complicated diseases.
He is known for consistently appealing to the governments to establish more Homeopathy hospitals in the country, which according to him, can employ skilled and meritorious doctors, and make quality drugs available, an essential ingredient in Homeopathic treatment. He believes it must also be done so that Homeopathy passes the test of expectations of the patients who spend a large chunk of their lives in pain due to chronic diseases.
His motto is to spread positivity. He always carries a smile, an infectious one, and is compassionate to all his patients. He attempts to instil positivity in his patients. He strongly believes that a sick mind always leads to an unhealthy body. He believes that innovation is the best form of medicine. His style of functioning is a reflection of the service of humankind. He has become a ray of hope for many of his patients. His clinic is generally jam-packed with patients who are chronically ill. They come from across India with the hope of getting the right treatment and a sustainable recovery. His clinic is open to all, irrespective of their ability to pay their fees in full or half.
His patients reveal that Dr Gyan organises free checkups and medicine camps twice a week. This camp is meant for the marginalised section of the society who can barely afford the treatment expenses.
Dr Gyan didn’t have an easy journey. He has encountered challenges and hardships on the way, but he never compromised on his dream to work for the cause of humanity. Brought up in the holy land of Lord Mahavira at Vaishali in Bihar, Dr Gyan firmly believes in leading a simple life and following the cardinal principles of Samuel Hahnemann, the German Physician, best known for creating the scientific system of alternative medicine called Homeopathy.
Dr Gyan has been recognised and honoured by numerous institutions for his continuous and selfless service towards humanity. Keeping in mind the remarkable work in Homeopathy medicine, in 2023 he was honoured with the “Pioneers in Healthcare” award by honourable Harivansh, Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha.
He has also received prestigious awards like the ‘Icons of Bihar’ and ‘Visionaries of Bihar’ from Bollywood stars and former Member of Parliament, Shatrughan Sinha and Pankaj Tripathi. Recently, he was felicitated with the ‘Global Excellence Award’ by Anupam Kher.
Among other prominent awards he has received are the ‘National President Special Appreciation Award’ during the 93rd National Annual Conference (IMA NETCAN 2021) of the IMA held in Patna in 2021.
A few years ago, a film production company made a documentary on Dr Gyan’s life, which is available on YouTube for viewing.
