A curtain raiser press conference was held by the Ministry of Ayush and the Government of Gujarat to discuss two important developments in traditional medicine in India: the groundbreaking event of the WHO Global Centre for Traditional Medicine (GCTM) and the convening of the Global Ayush Investment and Innovation Summit (GAIIS). Both ceremonies will take place in Gujarat and will be attended by the Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of Mauritius, Mr. Pravind Jugnauth, and the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus. Both ceremonies will be graced by a galactic array of ambassadors.
The WHO Global Centre for Traditional Medicine, the world's first of its type, will open in Jamnagar on April 19, 2022. The Centre's goal is to harness traditional medicine's potential by combining it with technological breakthroughs and evidence-based research. The new Centre will be based in Jamnagar, but it will engage and benefit the entire world. To maximise conventional medicine's contribution to global health, the GCTM will focus on four core strategic areas: evidence and learning, data and analytics, sustainability and equity, and innovation and technology.
The Global Ayush Investment and Innovation Summit will be place in Gandhinagar from April 20-22, 2022. The goal of the Summit is to increase investment and highlight breakthroughs in traditional medicine. It's a one-of-a-kind effort to build long-term relationships, increase exports, and protect the environment.
The GCTM aims to establish policies and standards for traditional medicine goods, as well as to assist countries in developing a complete, safe, and high-quality healthcare system. The Worldwide Ayush Investment and Innovation Summit aims to plan India's efforts to become a global centre for traditional products, practises, and related services.
