New Delhi: President Droupadi Murmu launched the Ayush Aushadhi Pharmacy programme here on Wednesday.
The Ayush Aushadhi Pharmacy aims to make quality Ayurvedic medicines accessible to all, enhancing healthcare delivery through Ayurveda.
The President, who attended the 8th Foundation Day of All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), also unveiled the Shashwat Ayush Expo.
“Ayurveda is one of the oldest holistic medical systems in the world. It focuses on establishing harmony between mind, body and spirit. Ayurveda medical system is our heritage and the Ministry of Ayush is doing the work of establishing this heritage as an authentic medical system. As I got to know that in the last 10 years since its establishment in 2014, the Ministry of Ayush has been making continuous efforts to bring traditional medical systems into the mainstream. Many important changes have been brought by the Ministry of Ayush in education, research, quality control of medicines, medicine and public health,” President Murmu said.
“In a short period of just 5 years from its inauguration, AIIA GOA was established as a remarkable achievement of the institute, which is today becoming a major centre of traditional Medical Value Travel and Medical Health Tourism,” Murmu continued.
“Seeing the work being done in this institute today, I am confident that through the joint efforts of all of us, we can take forward our heritage like Ayurveda with the prescriptions of our grandmothers and get it recognized globally through evidence based and scientific approach. I have been told that the theme of this year’s Ayurveda Day is – Ayurveda Innovation For Global Health, which is timely… I hope that through this Ayurveda will be able to reach the masses in an easy manner. I wish good luck to the Ministry of Ayush for this,” the President added.
In significant milestones over past seven years, AIIA has provided treatment to more than 27 lakh patients through its 44 speciality clinics, reinforcing its commitment to delivering high-quality Ayurvedic healthcare across the nation.
A total of 73 national and international Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) have been signed, further solidifying AIIA’s global and domestic collaborations in the field of Ayurveda.
