medicine practitioners should always keep on gaining modern knowledge. He
further urged Unani Medicine doctors to visit the bio-chemistry and chemistry
labs of the university to observe changes and innovations in modern sciences.

silent revolution, which needs to be observed by Unani Medicine doctors and
doctors of other streams of medicine,” said the Pro Vice Chancellor. He also
