The digital rollout includes platforms such as the Ayush Hospital Management Information System (AHMIS), m-Yoga, Y-Break, the Namaste Yoga App, and the E-Sanjeevani mobile app.
The Ministry of Ayush is taking significant steps towards digital transformation and global cooperation in herbal medicine, said Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha, Secretary of the Ministry of Ayush.
Speaking at a three-day workshop organized by the World Health Organization (WHO) on International Regulatory Cooperation for Herbal Medicines (IRCH), Kotecha highlighted the ministry’s recent initiatives, including the launch of ‘Ayush Grid’ and 22 digital tools.
The digital rollout includes platforms such as the Ayush Hospital Management Information System (AHMIS), m-Yoga, Y-Break, the Namaste Yoga App, and the E-Sanjeevani mobile app.
“This initiative aims to mainstream AYUSH within India’s broader healthcare framework, ensuring wider accessibility and efficiency,” Kotecha said.
The workshop, which began on August 6, saw participation from countries including Bhutan, Brunei, Cuba, Ghana, Indonesia, Japan, Nepal, Paraguay, Poland, Sri Lanka, and Uganda.
Kotecha also underlined India’s growing role in the global herbal medicine sector, noting that the country is the lead nation for WHO-IRCH Working Group 1 (Safety and Regulation) and Working Group 3 (Efficacy and Intended Use). He reaffirmed India’s commitment to advancing international cooperation in herbal medicine regulation.
Since its elevation to a ministry in 2014, the Ayush sector has seen rapid growth, expanding nearly sixfold from USD 2.85 billion (approximately Rs. 21,697 crore) to USD 18.1 billion (around Rs. 1,37,800 crore) over seven years.
