Research in Unani System

Hakim Ajmal Khan conceptualised the idea of research in Unani medicine in the 1920s. However, it was Hakim Abdul Hameed, who, under the Hamdard enterprise, established a modern laboratory and subjected various drugs to laboratory tests, bringing the Unani system of medicine onto modern scientific lines for the first time. He realized that the growth of Hamdard was heavily dependent on constant research into new products and the enhancement of those products already in the market.
