New Delhi: The Ministry of Ayush has developed digital platforms, including the Ayush Hospital Management Information System (AHMIS) under Ayush Grid, to digitise inventories and track the availability of medicines in Ayush facilities by doctors and pharmacists.

Under the National Ayush Mission (NAM), State/UT Governments are being supported for the implementation of Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) and Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) activities for creating awareness in the community about the strength of the Ayush system. These initiatives use mass media platforms to promote Ayush-based preventive healthcare practices and encourage communities to adopt healthier lifestyles.

In addition to it different outreach activities are also being supported through structured Ayush Public Health Programmes for creating awareness in the community by conducting camps and address public health issues by utilizing the potential of Ayush systems, with appropriate referral linkages with other Ayush healthcare facilities, in providing preventive, promotive, curative and rehabilitative health care services, either as standalone interventions or as an add-on to conventional systems of medicine, the PIB stated.

Under NAM, 12,500 Ayushman Arogya Mandir (AAM) have been made operational across the Country. The Ministry of Ayush has organised Training of Trainers (ToT) programmes to train healthcare workers, including ASHA and ANM workers, about the benefits of Ayush for maintaining general wellness and preventing diseases.
