India has set up Department of Ayush at its Consulate here which will provide free consultation to the public.
The Department of AYUSH is purposed with developing education and research in Ayurveda (Indian traditional medicine), Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy, and other alternative medicine systems.
Created in March 1995 as the Department of Indian Systems of Medicine and Homoeopathy (ISM&H), Ayush received its current name in March 2003.
Ayush is a common name, derived from Sanskrit, meaning 'Long-life'. It operates under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
As a part of this initiative, Ayurvedic doctors will be available on all Sundays and Wednesdays between 10am - 12 noon for providing free consultation to the public. Effective November 6, 2015, a Homoeopathic practitioner will also be giving free consultation every Tuesday. However, no medicines will be dispensed.
