Apex Institute of Ayurvedic Medicine & Hospital is a private Ayurvedic medical college and hospital located in Samaspur, Chunar, Mirzapur district, Uttar Pradesh, on the NH-7 (Mirzapur-Varanasi Road). Established in the academic year 2015-16 by the Apex Welcare Trust (registered in 2006 under the Indian Trusts Act), it sits in a scenic natural setting with hills on one side and the River Ganges on the other. The campus is conveniently positioned—about 1 km from Chunar Railway Station and 25–30 km from Varanasi (including Banaras Hindu University and major stations)—making it accessible for students and patients from the region and neighbouring states.

The institute is approved by the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM) and the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India. It is currently affiliated with Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath AYUSH University, Gorakhpur. It offers the Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) programme—a 5.5-year course (4.5 years academic + 1-year compulsory internship)—with an intake of 100 seats. Admission is through the NEET-UG entrance examination followed by Uttar Pradesh AYUSH counselling. The curriculum covers foundational Ayurvedic principles, classical texts (such as Charaka Samhita and Ashtanga Hridaya), modern medical sciences, and clinical training across departments including Kayachikitsa, Panchakarma, Shalya, Shalakya, Prasuti Tantra, and more.

The attached hospital provides clinical exposure and patient care through OPD and IPD services, Panchakarma therapies, herbal treatments, and related diagnostics. It emphasises affordable and low-cost care, particularly for economically weaker sections, aligning with the Trust’s broader charitable goals. The Trust also runs Apex Hospital in Varanasi, a multi-speciality facility, which has supported the development of this Ayurvedic institute. Infrastructure includes well-equipped laboratories (anatomy, physiology, Dravyaguna, Roga Nidan, etc.), an herbal medicinal garden with over 100 plant species, classrooms, a library, hostels for boys and girls, and other student amenities. Faculty strength is reported around 55, with experienced Ayurvedic practitioners leading teaching and clinical work. The principal is Prof. Dr Prabhat Kumar Singh (BAMS, MS in Shalakya Tantra).

The institution’s stated objectives centre on promoting the Indian System of Medicine, enriching research knowledge in Ayurveda, producing skilled practitioners, and delivering holistic healthcare that is accessible and has fewer side effects compared to purely modern approaches. It organises medical camps, workshops (such as Ayurved Kaushalam), national conferences, and academic activities. Permissions and affiliations are regularly updated for successive academic sessions, reflecting ongoing regulatory compliance.

Overall, Apex Institute serves as a regional centre for Ayurvedic education and treatment in eastern Uttar Pradesh. It combines traditional knowledge with structured modern training, offering students practical hospital exposure while contributing to community health services in a naturally conducive environment.
