Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of the Global Center for Traditional Medicine (GSTM) of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Jamnagar, Gujarat. This center will be the only one of its kind in the world. This is the reason why big experts around the world are calling it a game-changer.
Traditional medicine has been practiced in India for centuries. In every disease, small or big, people use traditional medicines and home remedies a lot. Even during the Corona period, people scientifically used traditional herbs and remedies. It also benefited them.
Now, these traditional medicines and prescriptions will be placed in front of the world. In this center being established in Jamnagar, work will be done to improve traditional medicines scientifically. Other countries of the world will also be benefited from this. It is not that only Ayurvedic medicines will work in this. Rather, work will also be done on aqua pressure, food with medicinal properties.
What did the WHO say?
PK Singh, Regional Director of World Health Organization (WHO) South-East Asia, described this center as a game-changer. That said, traditional medicines have been around for centuries. About 80 percent of the people in 170 of the 194 WHO member states use them.
"Despite the widespread use of traditional medicines, there is a lack of strong evidence, data and a standard framework preventing their integration into the mainstream healthcare delivery system," he said in an interview.
Dr. Singh further added, 'WHO's Global Center for Traditional Medicine by focusing on data and analytics, sustainability and equity, innovation and technology, and harnessing the ancient wisdom and power of traditional medicine and advancing the Sustainable Development Goals, is a great success. Could be a game-changer. It is also unique in ensuring the health and promoting well-being for people of all ages.
How can it be a game-changer?
Ayurvedic physician Dr. Somesh Pandey says, 'India's traditional medicine has a lot of power. Allopathy has captured the market, but even today most people have more faith in traditional medicine. This is the reason that everyone here takes care of minor problems at home. People take allopathic medicines for every minor problem in foreign countries. The harm of consuming more allopathic medicines is also more. Its side effects are more, but this is not the case in Ayurvedic medicines.
According to Dr. Pandey, till now only Indian people knew about traditional medicines. After the establishment of this center, it will be promoted in other countries of the world as well. Everyone will be able to take advantage of this. Especially coming with WHO will also benefit.
