The National Policy on Indian Systems of Medicine & Homoeopathy - 2002, envisages integration of AYUSH with the Health Care Delivery System. Mainstreaming of AYUSH is one of the strategies in National Health Mission (NHM) as well which seeks to provide accessible, affordable and quality health care in order to improve the existing health care delivery system.
Government of India has adopted a strategy of Co-location of AYUSH facilities at Primary Health Centres (PHCs), Community Health Centres (CHCs) and District Hospitals (DHs), thus enabling choice to the patients for different systems of medicines under single window. The engagement of AYUSH Doctors / paramedics and their training is supported by the Department of Health & Family Welfare, while the support for AYUSH infrastructure, equipment / furniture and medicines are provided by Ministry of AYUSH under shared responsibilities.
Government of India has approved and notified National AYUSH Mission (NAM) on 29.09.2014 which envisages better access to AYUSH services, strengthening of AYUSH educational Institutions, facilities for the enforcement of quality control of Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani & Homoeopathy (ASU & H) drugs and sustainable availability of ASU & H raw - materials in the States / UTs during 12th Plan.
The Central Government has taken steps to regulate AYUSH Institutions and promote & expand their networks by approving regulations for Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy colleges notified time to time by the Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) and Central Council of Homoeopathy (CCH) respectively. The regulations include inter-alia criteria for setting up and recognizing new AYUSH colleges/institutes, minimum standards of education and code of ethics for practitioners of AYUSH system of medicines.
In addition, under National AYUSH Mission provision has been kept to assist the State Governments/UTs for the promotion and development of AYUSH Institutions through upgradation of State/ UT Government Institutions and setting up of new Government Institutions.
This information was given by the Minister of State, AYUSH(IC), Shri Shripad Yesso Naik in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
