more-inKOCHI: Aiming at a major overhaul of the practice and teaching of indigenous medicine, including Ayurveda, Yoga, and Unani, documentation and data collection will be made systematic, and a new integrative approach with modern medicine will be adopted, said Dr. Rajesh Kotecha, Special Secretary, Ministry of AYUSH, here on Sunday. Dr. Kotecha was participating as the chief guest at Amrita Samyogam 2017, an international conference on integrative Ayurveda and modern medicine, organised by the School of Ayurveda, Amrita University, in association with Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences. Pointing out that integration is different from integrative approach, he said Ayurveda was not just medicine but “health and life”. “Ayurveda should ensure quality life and happiness,” Dr. Kotecha observed. More than 60 experts in integrative medicine from six countries are attending the meet.
