Integration of ayurveda, yoga and other Ayush systems in the delivery of health services is one of the thrust areas of the Indian government, Union Minister Sripad Yesso Naik said as the International Ayurveda Congress (IAvC) began on Saturday.
Insurance coverage has been extended to Ayush treatments and 27 companies are offering 140 health policies to beneficiaries in India, Naik said after inaugurating the fourth IAvC at Leiden in the Netherlands.
Ayush refers to traditional and non-allopathic medical systems in India. It includes ayurveda, yoga, unani and siddha, and also homeopathy.
"Today, more than 27 insurance companies are offering 140 health insurance policies for Ayush beneficiaries, Naik said.
Speaking at the event, the Ayush minister said, "Integration of ayurveda, yoga and other Ayush systems in the delivery of health services is one of the thrust areas of the government of India."
