What happens to healthcare when wellbeing takes priority over economic growth? In this thought-provoking conversation, we explore how the focus on growth in modern medicine often leads to unnecessary tests, procedures, and treatments that may not serve patients’ actual health needs.
In the latest episode of The Waterfall podcast (which is about wellbeing, sustainability, the arts, technology and slow travel), we hear from two Ayurveda doctors, Dr C M Pradyumna and Dr Sabitha Pradyumna, who are both MDs in Ayurveda pharmacology. They discuss the fundamental tension between profit-driven healthcare and health-focused treatment.
With over 20 years’ experience running Prasida Ayurveda Clinic in Kolkata, India, they offer a unique perspective on how integrative medicine can bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern diagnostics.
