India signed an MoU with Mauritius for cooperation in the field of
traditional system of medicine and homoeopathy. The MoU was signed
during the recent visit of Minster of State for Ayush (Independent
Charge) and Health & Family Welfare, Shripad Yesso Naik to
Mauritius.
This MoU will promote cooperation in the field of
traditional system of health and medicine between the two countries
which already share these traditions due to unique historical and
cultural ties. It envisages exchange of experts, supply of traditional
medicinal substances, joint research and development and recognition of
the traditional systems of health and medicine in both countries. It
also aims at promotion and popularization of the various Indian
traditional systems which fall under Ayush.
The agreement will be
of immense importance to both countries, considering their shared
cultural heritage. The Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy,
Unani, Siddha, Sowa Rigpa & Homoeopathy (Ayush) as a part of its
mandate to propagate Indian systems of medicine globally has entered
into MoUs with China, Malaysia, Trinidad and Tobago, Hungary, Bangladesh
and Nepal.
The financial resources necessary to conduct
research, training courses, meetings and deputations of experts will be
met from the existing allocated budget and existing plan schemes of
Ayush.
Both India and Mauritius share several cultural,
historical, linguistic and literary similarities, traditional medicine
including medicinal plants are promising areas which need to be further
explored and can prove to be mutually beneficial to the people of the
two countries.
The government of Mauritius also has a long
history of traditional medicine in common with India and both countries
share a common culture with respect to the ayurvedic system of medicine.
Moreover,
there are a large number of medicinal plants, particularly those found
in the tropical region and are common to the two countries given similar
geo-climatic factors.
