Emphasising the government’s focus on making healthcare accessible to the poorest of the poor, the prime minister said the Centre is also promoting traditional Indian medicine systems like AYUSH and Ayurveda.

Highlighting that the first World Health Organization (WHO) institution related to traditional medicine is being established in India, he pointed out that he inaugurated the second phase of the All India Institute of Ayurveda a few weeks ago. “Today, the foundation stone for the Central Ayurveda Research Institute has been laid,” he said, extending his special congratulations to the people of Delhi.
“India has immense potential to become the world’s health and wellness capital”, the prime minister stressed, adding that the day is not far when, along with “Make in India”, the world will adopt “Heal in India” as a mantra. Modi further said that to facilitate foreign citizens in availing AYUSH treatments in India, a special AYUSH visa facility has been introduced and in a short span, hundreds of foreign nationals have benefited from this facility.
