National AYUSH Mission launch approved

The India government today approved launching of National AYUSH Mission (NAM) to address gaps in health services in vulnerable and far-flung areas of the country. The decision to launch the mission was taken in a meeting of the Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

Through the Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (Ayush) mission, the Centre seeks to address gaps in health services by supporting the efforts of state governments for providing Ayush health services and education in the country, particularly in vulnerable and remote areas. "Under NAM, special focus will be given on specific needs of such areas and for allocation of higher resources in their Annual Plans. 

Ayush industry of Karnataka apprehensive about the possible merger

AYUSH industry of Karnataka  with its 215 Ayurveda units, 10 Homoeopathy and 2 Unani units are now apprehensive about the possible merger with the State drugs control department that is responsible for the approval of allopathy drugs.

Ayush and allopathy are different systems of medicine and should be separately monitored with different regulatory authorities. It makes no sense to combine regulatory enforcement wing and its administration under the state drugs control department. In fact, it is not a question of advantages and disadvantages following merger of the regulators. But the need of the hour is to strengthen the existing department of Ayush, said JSD Pani, president, Karnataka Indian Medicine Manufacturers Association (KIMMA).
