It is time for a sustainable development in the field of medicine, and ayurveda paves the path to this development.
This was the theme at the opening ceremony of the Arogya Expo 2010 being held alongside the 4th World Ayurveda Congress.
Inaugurating the event, attended by over 50 delegate countries, SA Ramadas, state minister for medical education, said that in a city like Bangalore, ayurveda can play a huge role in preventing and controlling lifestyle-related diseases.
He acknowledged that the event will be a platform for interaction between the Indian and global markets, and will bring forth the old traditional treatment to domestic customers.
“Karnataka is an ideal place to build up the base for Ayurveda as the eastern and western ghats are a treasure house of natural herbs and plants with medical values,” he said.
Nearly 500,000 visitors at the expo witnessed an array of exhibits of the Ayush pharma segment, practitioners and hospitals of all Ayush systems, Ayush-based service institutes and centres, research institutes and departments, laboratory equipment and machinery manufacturers, makers of hospital and surgical equipment, insurance companies, health tourism industry, herbal traders, and medicinal plant cultivators.
The health minister of Kerala Srimathi Teacher said that the wide network of private and public Ayurveda medicine stores in Kerala was a feasible model for other states to follow.
MK Shankaralinge Gowda, secretary, medical education department, in his presidential address said that the practitioners of Indian systems of medicines should also make use of the modern diagnostic tools to diagnose diseases.
KC Balal, co-chairman, state organising committee, World Ayurveda Conference, said the new manufacture and marketing practices are taking people away from the traditional medical practices.
He said that unless Ayurveda was incorporated to hospitals, the global market will not accept that stream of medicine.
