"The Committee recommends the Ministry to put concerted efforts in carrying out clinical trials adhering to the international guidelines/standards on clinical trials, such clinical trials would give the AYUSH measures required legitimacy and scientific validation," read the report.
The report further recommended the database of medicinal plants and studies forecasting the efficacy and safety of Ayush drugs with modern medicines for cancer, "The Ministry should also work towards creating a database of medicinal plants and natural compounds having potential for management of Cancer. Studies for testing the efficacy and safety of AYUSH drugs along with modern medicine for the management of cancer must be undertaken."
"The framework should also have provisions for addressing challenges posed by medico-legal and ethical issues. Insurance coverage for integrative oncology care needs to be made available for cancer patients. The Committee believes that even though integrative oncology is slowly evolving, efforts must be made by the Ministry to sort out areas of concern and address the visible challenges and help in creating an environment where Ayush can contribute to cancer management along with conventional treatment," it said.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that the government is considering allowing the beneficiaries of the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) to seek treatment at the hospitals empanelled with the flagship Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojna (AB-PMJAY) to provide more hospital options for the patients.
