Abstract

One of the most crucial and fundamental needs of every person in the world is health. A complicated phenomenon, health and its care can be managed by an individual or by medical professionals depending on the circumstances. Numerous healthcare facilities are springing up today, but it is not certain that everyone will receive the type of care they need. The lack of ethics and quality in healthcare administration is the primary cause of this scenario. For the healthcare system to be effective and produce high-quality results, highly qualified medical professionals, paramedical staff, and medicines are required. The goal of ayurveda is "Swasthsya Swasthya Rakshanam," which means that everyone wants to live a long, happy life free from suffering. Ayurveda is a very distinctive Indian medical science and has some unique qualities in catering the health service and management for the needy, based on the Chatushpada (four pillars of treatment) theory. As a result, it is one of the very strong issues in health management in the current materialistic world. Bhishag (the physician), Upastha (the nursing staff), Rogi (the patient), and Dravya (medicine). These four elements are interdependent, and their effective application results in a positive Chikitsa (treatment). Each of the four variables possesses four characteristics that are necessary for a successful treatment. In absence of any one of these, the treatment may not be successful. In this article we focus on this upasthata (nursing staff).
