The Union AYUSH Minister also discussed efforts to give due recognition to Ayurvedic medicines derived from traditional knowledge.

According to the PTI report, he said, "Only a few AYUSH medicines are available in common medical stores, due to which patients and doctors prescribing these medicines face problems. The government wants to ensure AYUSH drugs come into the market in abundance after research. These medicines should be available everywhere. For this, we are trying to open at least one special medical store of AYUSH medicines in every tehsil of the country".
AYUSH hospitals are also being opened at the tehsil level, said the minister, who also visited medical institutes in Indore, Dewas and Ujjain and reviewed facilities there.
