India and WHO sign agreement on traditional medicine module
The Ministry of Ayush in India has signed an agreement with the World Health Organization (WHO) to commence the development of a traditional medicine module under the International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI). This collaboration aims to elevate the global status of traditional medicine systems. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said: "This initiative will help in making Ayush reach maximum number of people across the world in a scientific manner." ICHI works in conjunction with the WHO's International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) to document various health treatments and interventions. The new module will include traditional practices from Yoga, Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani systems, allowing for their recognition in a globally standardised format. This integration is expected to yield numerous advantages, encompassing transparent billing, equitable pricing for Ayush services, and smoother inclusion of Ayush treatments in health insurance plans. It will also improve hospital management, clinical documentation, and health research, ultimately making Ayush interventions more accessible worldwide. The initiative is in line with India's strategic goal to bring its traditional medicinal knowledge to the forefront of global healthcare, supported by international standards and scientific classification. WHO director-general Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated on X: "Pleased to sign an agreement for a $3m contribution from #India to @WHO's work on traditional medicine and the International Classification of Health Interventions, with @moAyush Secretary Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha. We welcome 's continued commitment to #HealthForAll." The integration of ICD-11 for diseases and the new ICHI module for health interventions is set to ensure that Ayush secures its place as an evidence-based and policy-recognised component of international healthcare systems.

India partners with WHO to mainstream Ayush globally through agreement on traditional medicine interventions
New Delhi [India], May 25 (ANI): In a landmark development poised to transform the global standing of traditional medicine systems, an agreement was signed between the Ministry of Ayush and the World Health Organisation (WHO) on May 24, according to the official statement. The agreement marks the beginning of work on a dedicated Traditional Medicine module under the International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI). As per the official statement, highlighting the significance of this achievement during the 122nd episode of Mann Ki Baat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said: 'Friends, something has happened in the field of Ayurveda as well, which you will be very happy to know about. Just yesterday, on 24th May, an MoU was signed in the presence of the WHO Director General and my friend Tulsi Bhai. Along with this agreement, work has started on a dedicated traditional medicine module under the International Classification of Health Interventions. This initiative will help Ayush reach a maximum number of people across the world in a scientific manner.' The ICHI, complementing WHO's International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), documents what treatments and health interventions are administered. With the inclusion of a traditional medicine module, therapies from Ayurveda, Yoga, Siddha, and Unani systems--such as Panchakarma, Yoga therapy, Unani regimens, and Siddha procedures--will now be recognised in globally standardised terms. This will bring about multiple benefits: *Transparent billing and fair pricing for Ayush services. *Smoother integration of Ayush treatments in health insurance coverage. * Enhanced hospital management, clinical documentation, and health research. * Most importantly, greater global accessibility to Ayush interventions. 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. Welcoming the agreement, WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on X: 'Pleased to sign an agreement for a USD 3 million contribution from #India to @WHO's work on traditional medicine and the International Classification of Health Interventions, with @moAyush Secretary Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha. We welcome India's continued commitment to #HealthForAll.' The combined impact of ICD-11 for diseases and the new ICHI module for interventions will ensure that Ayush becomes an integral, evidence-based, and policy-recognised part of global healthcare systems. This is more than a coding update--it is a transformative step toward affordable, accessible, and trusted healthcare through India's traditional systems. (ANI)
