A total of 123 regular Ayush Visa, 221 e-Ayush Visa and 17 e-Ayush Attendant Visa have been issued till 04.12.2024, Union Minister of State (I/C) for Ayush, Prataprao Jadhav informed in a written reply in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday. 


The Government introduced a separate category of Ayush Visa for foreigners visiting India for availing treatment under the Ayush system of medicine on 27th July 2023. Ayush Visa is available under four sub-categories i.e. (i) Ayush Visa (AY-1), (ii) Ayush Attendant Visa (AY2), (iii) e-Ayush Visa and (iv) e-Ayush Attendant Visa. 


Ayush Visa is granted to a foreigner who seeks treatment through Ayush systems like therapeutic care and wellness in a Hospital/Wellness Centre accredited and registered with any Government authority concerned or the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), or the National Commission for Homoeopathy (NCH), or the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM).


The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has also launched India's official portal for Medical Value Travel (MVT) - the Advantage Healthcare India portal. It is a "One-Stop" portal developed to aid those who want to avail medical treatment in India from abroad. Any international patient seeking medical care or wellness services in India can visit the Advantage Healthcare India portal by logging on to www.healinindia.gov.in.


To sensitize stakeholders like Ayush facility providers and others involved in MVT, the Government organized the Ayush Medical Value Travel Summit 2024 on 30.09.2024 in Mumbai. The event, themed 'Global Synergy in Ayush: Transforming Health and Wellness through Medical Value Travel’, was aimed at strengthening India's position in Medical Value Travel (MVT) by integrating traditional Indian systems of medicine with modern healthcare systems, the minister informed.
