The Ministry of Home Affairs incorporated a new visa category, "Ayush Visa" for foreign nationals seeking medical treatment like therapeutic care, wellness and yoga in India, Aayush announced on Wednesday.
The goal of the Ayush Visa is to meet the need for a special visa programme for foreigners who want to go to India for treatment using Ayurvedic or Indian methods of medicine.
"It will make medical tourism in India more popular. Sarbananda Sonowal, the Union Minister of Ayush, said, "This initiative will help us reach Prime Minister Narendra Modi's goal of making Indian traditional medicine a global phenomenon."
PM Modi said that the Ayush Visa would be made in 2022. He wanted it to be part of India's plan for the Heal in India programme.
The Ministry of Ayush and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare are working together to make a portal called "Heal in India" that will market India as a place to go for medical tourism.
The Global Wellness Institute (GWI) says in its study "The Global Wellness Economy: Looking Beyond COVID" that the global wellness economy will grow by 9.9% each year. By 2025, it is expected that the Ayush-based healthcare and wellness economy will have grown to $70 billion, thanks to a huge rise in Medical Value Travel.
To make medical value better A Memorandum of Understanding was recently made between the Ministry of Tourism, GoI, and the India Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) to expand travel in Ayurveda and other traditional forms of medicine.
