Mumbai notes — A-I’s alternative healing therapy

A-I’s alternative healing therapy

Air-India has become the first public sector undertaking to provide alternative healing therapies for its staff members. It has set up a new clinic at A-I’s medical services department at Kalina to provide homeopathic, ayurvedic, acupressure and acupuncture treatment for its employees. Doctors and practitioners from these medical streams will be initially visiting the airline clinic once a week. The frequency of the visits will be increased gradually to match the demand from the employees, according to a news release issued by the A-I.
