Panaji:
The Goa government will soon make it mandatory for ayurveda
doctors to serve in the government sector for two years in a bid
to make the Indian system of medicine popular, Chief Minister
Manohar Parrikar said Thursday.
Parrikar was speaking at an annual meeting of ayurveda specialists
at Shiroda, 30 km from here, where he also called for increased
research in the Indian medicine system.
"We are thinking of compulsorily enlisting young ayurveda doctors
to serve for two years in the government sector," Parrikar said.
Expressing concern about the increasing prevalence of diabetes in
the state, Parrikar said that over three lakh people out of Goa's
over 14 lakh population suffered from the disease and sought more
research in ayurveda to treat the disease.
