Rationale:---
The Indian systems of medicine have age old acceptance in
the communities in India and in most places they form the first line
of treatment in case of common ailments. Of these, Ayurveda is the
most ancient medical system with an impressive record of safety
and efficacy. Other components such as Yoga, Naturopathy are
being practised by the young and old alike, to promote good health.
Now days, practice of Yoga has become a part of every day life. It
has aroused a world wide awakening among the people, which
plays an important role in prevention and mitigation of diseases.
Practice of Yoga prevents Psychosomatic disorders and improves
an individual’s resistance and ability to endure stressful situation.
Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH) are
rationally recognised systems of medicine and have been integrated
into the national health delivery system. India enjoys the distinction
of having the largest network of traditional health care, which are
fully functional with a network of registered practitioners, research
institutions and licensed pharmacies.
The NRHM seeks to revitalize local health traditions and
mainstream AYUSH (including manpower and drugs), to strengthen
the Public Health System at all levels. It is decided that AYUSH
medications shall be included in the drug kit of ASHA, The additional
supply of generic drugs for common ailments at SC/PHC/CHC
levels under the Mission shall also include AYUSH formulations. At
the CHC level two rooms shall be provided for AYUSH practitioner
and pharmacist under the Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS)
model. At the same time, single Doctor PHCs shall be upgraded to
two Doctor PHCs by inducting AYUSH practitioner at that level.
There are 5 Ayurvedic Hospitals,619 Ayurvedic Dispensaries,
4 Homoeopathic Hospitals, 560 Homoeopathic Dispensaries and 9
Unani Dispensaries.
A total of 266 Ayurvedic and Homeopathic doctors and 200
paramedics has been approved by GOI to be placed in the block
PHC/CHC. An additional 48 Ayurvedic and homeopathic doctors is
proposed in this current budget to be placed in the rest 48
PHC/CHCs in the blocks. This will make available one
Ayurvedic/Homeopathic doctor in each of the 314 block health
institution of the State. AYUSH drugs shall also be provided to each
of the 314 block institutions.
