About Ayush Program:

PV is the science of gathering, monitoring, researching, evaluating, and summarising data from healthcare professionals and patients on the side effects of prescription drugs, biological products, blood products, herbal remedies, vaccines, medical devices, and complementary and alternative medicines with the goal of discovering new information about product hazards and preventing patient harm.

This was believed to be necessary in order to give these systems more attention in the face of a powerful counterpart in the form of the allopathic system of medicine, which caused an “architectural correction” in the health service that the National Rural Health Mission had in mind (NRHM). Health in India is a state-specific issue, hence most of these systems, including workforces, medicines, and principles, were only applicable in certain states before the introduction of NRHM. After the NRHM was implemented and the AYUSH systems were integrated into the system of conventional medical care, this took a turn for the worse.

AYUSH concepts have also been applied to the management of widespread issues with community health. The program implementation and planning (PIPs) of different states make these clear. While many of these initiatives are successfully being conducted in some states, others have requested approval of alternative programs in their PIPs.
