Dear all!
It is a great pleasure and honor for me to work with you as Chairperson of Yoga & Naturopathy Doctors Association (YANDA) since its establishment. YANDA is a professional organization of registered Yoga & Naturopathy doctors working in Nepal. It has been working tirelessly for the professional development, better working environment and system development. YANDA has been continually lobbying with Ministry of Health & Population for various health policies related to Yoga & Naturopathy but not able to achieve as expected.  We have many problems, yet I believe that all hurdles can be overcome by teamwork, better coordination between us, government bodies, stakeholders and publics. 
Reductionism philosophy-based diseases focused current health care system must be changed towards holistic health-oriented model. Holistic model is based on the enhancement and maintenance of health and not just on the cure of disease. This model typically considers the whole person-body, mind and spirit and approach towards total health (as defined by WHO) not just eliminating the symptoms of organ. Yoga & Naturopathy has the perfect treatment model for achieving optimum level of health in Physical, mental, social and spiritual dimension.
Yoga & Naturopathy is one of the most widely used methods in the present era. It is gaining popularity around the whole world as it is very safe, effective, natural and non –invasive system of medicine. Naturopathy is a multidisciplinary system which employs a wide range of natural treatments to achieve holistic health. Yoga and Naturopathy is one of the best combination two medicines to prevent and treat almost all diseases of modern civilization such as Obesity, Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Coronary Artery Diseases, Cancer and psychological problems that are rooted into faulty lifestyles.  This system of medicine is based on scientific knowledge of the body and uses treatments that have been proven effective through scientific research. 
YANDA will always be committed and devoted towards evidence-based practices in Yoga & Naturopathy for holistic and sustainable health of people.  
 
Thank you!
Dr. Janak Bahadur Basnet
