New Delhi: The
qualification standards for medical colleges and hospitals that
come under the department of ayurveda, yoga and naturopathy, unani,
siddha and homoepathy (AYUSH) will be raised, a senior official
said Tuesday.
"We look for transparency in the practices followed by
institutions to come under the system of AYUSH. By raising the
qualification standards, we expect an upgradation in facilities
such as distribution of medicines, condition of hospitals
practicing this medium of medicine, and greater transparency,"
said Anil Kumar, secretary, AYUSH department in the health and
family welfare ministry.
The raising of norms comes in the form of changes in minimum
criteria for higher level faculty, number of patients attended by
the in-patient department (IPD) and out-patient department (OPD),
the functional system of the hospital, and supply of medicines to
the hospital among others.
The decision comes after the ministry observed unfair practices of
showing higher that actual number of patients in hospitals, lack
of skilled faculty, and inadequate practices.
"We want to ensure quality in this branch of medicine by checking
unfair practices. We have also collaborated with the National
Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) for availing high quality data
to the public, better research on ayurveda, and naturopathy on
AYUSH research portal," Anil Kumar said.
