The Ayush Ministry signed an agreement with WHO to establish WHO-Global Traditional Medicine Centre (GTMC) in Jamnagar, Gujarat.
This Centre aims to provide support to implement WHO's traditional medicine strategy (2014-23) and to support nations in developing policies and action plans to strengthen the role of traditional medicine as part of their journey to universal health coverage.
An agreement was signed between the Ministry of Ayush and the WHO on May 24, 2025, towards developing Traditional Medicine intervention categories and index for the International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI), with a holistic approach and focus on Traditional Medicine systems of Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani.
The agreement marks the beginning of work on a dedicated Traditional Medicine module under the International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI). This development aligns with India’s vision of bringing its rich heritage of traditional wisdom into the global healthcare mainstream, backed by scientific classification and international standards, according to the ministry.
