First of its kind: Ayush ministry sign WHO pact, aim to spread Ayurveda globally

Firstpost  

The World Health Organisation signed a first-of-its-kind agreement with the Indian government on Friday to develop a global protocol for promoting traditional and complementary medicines – by providing reference documents for governments to regulate and integrate such systems of knowledge into national health regimes. “The Project Collaboration Agreement that was signed today will develop for the first time basic WHO benchmark documents for training and practice of different Indian systems of medicine,” said Ajit Kumar, Indian Ambassador to the UN office at Geneva. “The two systems of traditional and western medicine need not clash,” Kieney said, praising India’s attempts to mainstream AYUSH under the National Rural Health Mission. “India and WHO will seek to improve the quality and service delivery of Indian systems of medicine and help in their better acceptability internationally,” said Shripad Yasso Naik, national AYUSH minister after the signing of the agreement. The agreement would subsequently lead to a “long-term collaboration” with the UN health agency involving multilateral collaboration in T&CM, including development of basic terminologies, establishing a database for global T&CM practitioners, establishment of a network of international regulatory cooperation for traditional practice, for preserving, protecting, and promoting the bio-resources, traditional medicine and folklore knowledge related with these systems.
