Ayurveda, the Science of Life that emphasizes on
disease prevention and health promotion, is gradually being acknowledged by the
global community. However, the traditional medicinal system is yet to get the
required nod for the first line of treatment against major diseases like
Covid-19. This despite reputed institutions like the All India Institute
of Ayurveda (AIIA), New Delhi, successfully curing Covid-19 patients
using Ayurvedic treatment protocol.
In the first session on the topic held on August
14, Padma Shri Anant Darshan Shankar, Vice Chancellor, Transdisciplinary
University, Bengaluru, had called for strategic interventions including policy
formulation and better budgetary resource utilisation in key areas like Health
services, Education and Research to facilitate the growth of Ayurveda.
The speakers will touch upon the future measures
and approaches required to elevate the ancient healing system into the
mainstream medical practice. The virtual session will start from 4.30 pm (IST)
on Friday. For registration, click on the following link :
