Union Health Minister Jadhav met the Governor of Haryana to outline plans for expanding AYUSH services across the state.
Union Health Minister Anil Jadhav visited Chandigarh to meet the Governor of Haryana, Mr. Sukhbir Singh. The meeting focused on broadening the reach of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) services within the state.
Jadhav highlighted the government's intent to integrate AYUSH into primary health care centers, aiming to provide affordable, culturally relevant treatments to rural and urban populations alike. He also discussed plans to train more practitioners and establish dedicated AYUSH units in district hospitals.
The governor expressed support for the initiative, emphasizing the importance of preventive medicine and traditional practices in improving public health outcomes. Both parties agreed on a phased rollout, starting with pilot projects in select districts.
Next steps will involve coordination between the central Ministry of AYUSH and Haryana's health department to finalize implementation timelines, budget allocations, and monitoring mechanisms.
