He believes it is evolving at a fast pace, and as a medical professional, he feels fortunate to have the privilege to practice in a country as diverse and dynamic as the UAE, which he has had the good fortune of calling home for many years. Through his journey he hopes to inspire budding medical students to pursue homeopathy and continue setting higher benchmarks in this field.

Another homoeopathic doctor from India, Dr Anupriya Batra was also recently awarded the UAE Golden Visa for her service in the field of homoeopathic medicine.

“I am grateful to the leaders of the UAE for this opportunity and the officials for their assistance with my visa application and for the recognition of homoeopathy professionals,” Dr Batra said.
