New Delhi: The Union Minister for AYUSH has announced that specialized medical stores dedicated to AYUSH medicines will be established in every tehsil across the country. The initiative is part of the government’s broader efforts to increase access to alternative medicine systems like Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy.
Union Minister Prataprao Jadhav said in the announcement, “Only a few AYUSH medicines are available in common medical stores, due to which patients and doctors prescribing these medicines face problems. The government wants to ensure AYUSH drugs come into the market in abundance after research. These medicines should be available everywhere. For this, we are trying to open at least one special medical store of AYUSH medicines in every tehsil of the country.”
These stores will ensure the availability of a wide range of AYUSH medicines and products, making traditional and alternative treatments more accessible at the grassroots level. The move is expected to bolster the reach of AYUSH healthcare services and provide people in rural and semi-urban areas with easier access to these treatments. The timeline and further details on the rollout are expected to be released in the coming months.
