In Dr. S. T. Shetty’s own words

Transcript of the video above. Translated from Marathi.

I am Professor Dr. S. T. Shete, and I have come to AVN Arogya Ayurvedic Hospital, Madurai, from the city of Latur in Maharashtra for medical care. My wife, Aparna Shankarrao Shete, aged sixty-four, had trouble in the hip joint, and it is for the treatment of that that we have come here to this AVN Hospital in Madurai. As for how we learned of this AVN Hospital — both my sons work as engineers in Pune, Maharashtra. Besides them, my daughter, Dr. Archana Sharan Basaveshwar Mitkari, is a BAMS Ayurvedic doctor, and it was through her that we got information about this hospital; because of that information we came here for medical care. In this hospital we have received very good medical care over 21 days. In this 21-day course we have received very good service from the nursing staff, the clinic staff and the medical doctors. In the patient — that is, my wife Aparna Shete — the hip joint or AVN trouble she had has improved by nearly 60%. Her treatment was given by Dr. Ramesh Warrier sir at this hospital. Besides him, his assistant Dr. Malavika and their colleague medical officers have given her very good care in this hospital. The difficulty my wife had in getting up, sitting and walking has reduced for the most part, by around sixty to seventy per cent. So I can say on this occasion that for patients afflicted with these illnesses, in Maharashtra or across the whole of India, this hospital is an excellent one to come to for treatment. Because it helps you, this is an excellent hospital. And if anyone has hip joint trouble or avascular necrosis, they should certainly come here and take treatment.
