Union Minister Prataprao Jadhav inaugurated the Ayush Medical Value Travel Summit 2024.
The theme of this summit is ‘Global Synergy in Ayush: Transforming Health and Wellness through Medical Value Travel’.
It has been organized by the Ministry of Ayush, Government of India, in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, the Government of Maharashtra, and key partners.
It provided a platform for stakeholders, including government officials, wellness centres, etc., to discuss the future of Ayush-based healthcare and Medical Value Travel.
The first Medical Value Travel Summit 2024 in Mumbai will be followed by events in Bhubaneswar and a grand finale in Delhi.
This will target one crore households with campaign ‘Desh ka Prakrutik Parikshan—Ghar Ghar tak Ayurved on the occasion of Ayurveda Day.”
As per the analysis, the Ayush sector has grown from $3 million in 2014 to $18.1 million in 2020—an increase of sixfold within six years.
The main aim of the summit is to strengthen India’s position in Medical Value Travel (MVT) by integrating traditional Indian systems of medicine—Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy (Ayush)—with modern healthcare systems.
