Government was trying this through quality control and holistic medical education
The government is making all efforts to mainstream Indian systems of medicine – Ayush (ayurveda, yoga and naturopathy, unani, siddha and homoeopathy) – through quality control and holistic medical education, Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare S Gandhiselvan said.
“The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) is the main vehicle to achieve the goal. The NRHM seeks to open up local health tradition and mainstream Ayush including the manpower and drugs and to strengthen the public health system,” Gandhiselvan said at a conference here.
He also said that the Ministry is mulling to start a medical facility combining western medicine and Indian system of medicine to provide holistic medical treatment, reports IANS.
Emphasising the need for quality control, Gandhiselvan said that Quality Council of India, an autonomous body set up by the Ministry to promote quality, has been deputed to develop voluntary certification systems covering AYUSH products and medicinal plants.
