New Delhi:
As part of an initiative to promote traditional Indian systems of
medicine abroad, the health ministry has signed agreements and set
up research facilities to collaborate with international
universities, an official said.
The department of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani,
Siddha and Homoeopathy) has been making efforts to promote Indian
systems of medicine abroad, a health ministry official said
Wednesday.
Among initiatives taken is the setting up of the Centre for
Research in Indian System of Medicine (CRISM) under the National
Centre for Natural Products Research (NCNPR), University of
Mississippi, US, to facilitate collaborative research and
disseminate information on Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani medicines.
The department also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
with the Institute for Social Medicine, Epidemiology and Health
Economics, Charite University, Berlin (Germany), to conduct a
collaborative research on effectiveness and safety of Ayurveda as
a treatment system.
An Indo-US interactive meet was organised on AYUSH research to
explore the feasibility to conduct joint Indo-US Ayurveda research
and to facilitate Ayurveda's entry into mainstream US medicine,
the official added.
Apart from this, the health minister of Malaysia visited the AYUSH
department and discussed various issues pertaining to cooperation
on traditional systems of medicine, the official said.
