Rajasthan Health Minister Raghu Sharma said that post-COVID care centres will be opened at all the district Ayurveda hospitals.
Experts will treat the patients who have recovered from the infection at these centres through homoeopathic, ayurvedic and Unani medical systems.
Sharma was addressing the advisory committee of Ayurveda, homoeopathic, Unani, yoga and naturopathy departments at Swasthya Bhawan in Jaipur.
Looking at the huge potential of medical tourism in the state, the minister said 20 such places have been identified in the state where there is the maximum movement of tourists. He said that a yoga centre with state-of-the-art-facilities will be opened at these places in public-private partnership (PPP) model.
Sharma claimed that the entire world believed in the AYUSH system during the coronavirus period. While no medical treatment was discovered in any medical system, positive results started coming out of the Ayurveda medical system, he said.
The government is committed for conservation and promotion of ayurveda, homoeopathic and Unani medical systems and is working for its betterment, Sharma added.
Sharma, who is also the Ayurveda Minister, directed officials to draw up a framework to develop botanical gardens at 17 places across the state and suggested that it could be done under the PPP model.
In the meeting, he gave instructions to develop these botanical gardens with the help of farmers and by deploying Dravyaguna (study of medicinal herbs and drugs) science experts at these places. He also mentioned about 10 types of medicinal plants at each AYUSH hospital with emphasis on planting guggal, tulsi, giloy, ashwagandha, arjun and other plants.
Sharma also directed officials to publish a booklet of major ayurvedic medicines with detailed explanation. National Institute of Ayurveda former director Professor Mahesh Chandra Sharma has taken the responsibility to prepare this booklet.
