Taking this into consideration, a Post COVID Ayurveda Care Centre was inaugurated on December 1, 2020 in association with Department of Agadatantra, MVRAMC and Pappinisery Visha Chikitsa Kendra.
Pappinisseri Visha Chikitsa Kendram , one of the first snake bite treatment hospitals, was established as a charitable institution to treat snake bite casualties back in the 1960s. At the time PVCK was the only snake bite treatment hospital in Kannur and currently runs as an integrated unit where anti-venom is available in emergencies.

The new block in Pappinisery Visha Chikitsa Kendram was established for post COVID Ayurveda Care Centre where the patients are first evaluated at the reception and then directed towards the consultation room which is open from 9 am to 4 pm on all days. The clinic is well sanitized, and the doctors follow all safety protocols – using face shield, gloves etc. The added advantage of the Post Covid Care Clinic in Pappinisseri Visha Chikitsa Kendram are the specially formulated medicines prepared in MVR pharmacy which is customised according to patients’ needs .
Ayurveda, especially Agadatantra, being closely related to the present condition of visha and aama and with a huge experience of curing symptoms and complications of unknown latent toxins showed effective results in treating post covid symptoms as well.
