Dr D Ramanathan, managing director of Sitaram Ayurveda Pharmacy, Thrissur and general secretary of the Ayurveda Medicine Manufacturers Organisation of India (AMMOI), has won the prestigious Dhanwanthari Award instituted by the Kochin Devaswom Board.
 
The award was given away by the state Devaswom Minister, V N Vasavan, in a function organised at the Sri Dhanwanthari Temple at Thrissur two days ago.
 
This is the premier award given by the Kochin Devaswam Board in the name of Dhanwanthari, the God of health and Ayurveda, every year.
 
Sources informed that the Dhanwanthari Award is designed for doctors who are performing well in the field of Ayurveda clinical practice and research. Doctors working in government and private sectors are considered for the award which carries a cash award of Rs. 25,000 and a citation.
 
Dr Ramanathan was a member of the erstwhile Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) under the union Ayush ministry for two terms from Kerala. He held several posts in various government-controlled councils and boards including Kerala State Medicinal Plant Board (KSMPB), Travancore-Kochin Medical Council and the Central Council of Indian Medicine. He is also the managing editor of Oushadham in-house magazine, published by AMMOI.
 
On several occasions, he was honoured with various awards and accolades considering his achievements and contributions in the field of Ayurveda. The Ministry of Ayush recognised him as a Guru (Teacher) in the hierarchy of ‘Guru Shishya Parampara.’
 
In 2023, he was awarded with the ‘Samagra Sambhavana Puraskar’ by the Ayurveda Medical Association of India (AMAI), the Association of Ayurveda Medical Practitioners in the country. Dr Ramanathan has always been an advocate for the promotion of Ayurveda, and was instrumental for several developments in the field of traditional medicines, especially Ayurveda, in Kerala.
 
In addition to managing the operations of the Sitaram Ayurveda Pharmacy, he is now working as the chief physician of the Sitaram Ayurveda Hospital in Thrissur.
