MoU between the Ministry of AYUSH and ICMR

An MoU was signed between the Ministry of AYUSH and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) to promote and collaborate on integrative health research.

Details :

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between AYUSH and ICMR will focus on identified areas of national importance in healthcare for promoting high-impact research to generate evidence utilising modern scientific methods.

This MoU will help to further develop Ayurveda as evidence-based science.

Integrative Health Research is a transdisciplinary, holistic approach to investigating the benefits of co-administering the conventional (modern systems of medicine) and non-conventional (traditional/complementary/alternative) medical practices to identify the comprehensive healthcare practices for an individual and the community.

Through this MoU, AYUSH-ICMR centres will be established for advanced research in Integrative Health at all AIIMS with co-funding.

Joint efforts will be in place to conduct high-quality clinical trials on identified areas/disease conditions of national importance with promising integrative therapies to generate evidence for wider acceptance.

This would also help Ayurveda to boost and further build its identity on the basis of scientific evidence and move towards offering patients the benefit of integrated medicine in India.

A joint working group shall be created between the Ministry of AYUSH and ICMR which will meet quarterly for exploring further areas of collaboration and work on deliverables.

Both institutions shall formulate and implement joint research projects and programmes and allow joint supervision of the said activities as well as design and conduct conferences, workshops, and seminars jointly with the active participation of researchers interested in the field of Integrative Healthcare.
