Q2. Read the passage given below:
India and Alternative Systems of Medicine 1. In the last three decades, there have been focused initiatives to mainstream traditional and alternative systems of medicine in healthcare services in India. The first full-fledged department for Indian Systems of Medicine and Homeopathy (ISM&H) was created under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, in March 1995 to promote and regulate the practice of alternative systems of medicine in the country. This department was, in November 2003, renamed as Department of Ayurved Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy (AYUSH). A fully independent Ministry of AYUSH was formed in November 2014. In 2002, the Government of India also formulated the National Policy on Indian Systems of Medicine and Homeopathy.
2. Sustained efforts over the years have resulted in an increased availability of providers in alternative systems of medicine. By the end of March 2017, there were 3,943 hospitals and 27,698 dispensaries under AYUSH systems, under different administrative controls ranging from State and Union governments, local bodies and others (i.e. Central Government Health Services (CGHS); Railway, Coal and Labour Ministry and also run by research councils and national institutes). In March 2018, there were 773,668 already registered AYUSH practitioners, most of them being in Ayurveda followed by Homeopathy. There were 622 institutions offering under graduate courses (annual intake of 40,151) and 201 institutes offering post-graduate courses (annual intake of 5,486) in AYUSH systems (Table 1). The current National Health Policy of India has proposed functional linkage of AYUSH at all levels of health systems, including service delivery as well as work force. The policy proposal focuses on inclusion of Yoga at work place, in schools and in the community as an important form of promoting health and wellness.
