Conference which has been organized in India. Through ‘Arogya 2017’, we
have decided to share the traditional medicine knowledge of India with

however is not the only country with traditional medicine knowledge.
Through this conference we also hope to learn from participants from
other countries of the world and the Government of India will be very
happy to work with all the countries in this sector, he said.
Minister
of State for AYUSH, Shri Shripad Yesso Naik said that Ministry of AYUSH
is trying to achieve comprehensive integration of AYUSH in the health
services. Through the Ministry of AYUSH, we are not only promoting
developmental activities of traditional medicine at National level but
also looking at more international cooperation and collaboration
opportunities at bilateral, multi lateral, regional and global levels.
In this direction, declaration of 21st June as
International Day of Yoga by the United Nations has generated global
interest for yoga as well as lot of cooperation opportunities for
exchange of Yoga information, expertise and qualified, certified and
accredited trainers of Yoga. Similarly, through our collaboration
agreement with WHO we intend to develop AYUSH technical guidelines and
documents for the benefit of member countries, the Minister added. Shri
Shripad Naik said that India has signed MoUs with some country
Governments and also with International Universities for fostering
cooperation in the area. We should build up the institutional mechanisms
and the health systems with the evidence-based approaches, shared
practical experiences and best practices of traditional medical systems,
he added.
Secretary
AYUSH, Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha said that India is perhaps the only
country in the world with a separate ministry of traditional medicine
which reflects government’s commitment towards development of AYUSH
system of medicines. We hope to increase the size of AYUSH sector three
fold over the next five years including products and services, the AYUSH
Secretary said. It is for this reason that the Government is following a
multi prong strategy including signing of MoUs and agreements with
large number of countries, collaborative research and academic
activities and offering international scholarship in AYUSH among
others.
