00:00To create a range of skilled career pathways, a new range of skilled career pathways for our youth,
00:10I propose interventions in the following sectors.
00:14Health. Existing institutions for allied health professionals will be upgraded
00:20and new AHP institutions established in private and government sectors.
00:25This will cover 10 selected disciplines, including optometry, radiology, anesthesia, OT technology,
00:36applied psychology and behavioral health, and add 1 lakh AHPs over the next 5 years.
00:47A strong care system covering geriatric and allied care services will be built.
00:55A variety of NSQF-aligned programs will be developed to train multi-skilled caregivers,
01:03combining core care and allied skills, such as wellness, yoga, and operation of medical assistive devices.
01:13In the coming year, 1.5 lakh caregivers will be trained.
01:18Hubs for Medical Value Tourism
01:26To promote India as a hub for medical tourism services,
01:31I propose to launch a scheme to support states in establishing five regional medical hubs
01:38in partnership with the private sector.
01:43These hubs will serve as integrated healthcare complexes that combine medical, educational, and research facilities.
01:52They will have Aayush centers, medical value tourism facilitation centers,
01:58and infrastructure for diagnostics, post-care, and rehabilitation.
02:04These hubs will provide diverse opportunities, job opportunities, for health professionals, including doctors and AHPs.
02:13Ancient Indian yoga, already respected in several parts of the world,
02:22was given a mass global recognition when Honourable Prime Minister took it to the UN.
02:29Post-COVID, Ayurveda gained a similar global acceptance and recognition.
02:36Exporting quality Ayurveda products helps farmers who grow the herbs and youth who process the products
02:44to meet growing global demand, a few more steps are being taken.
02:49I propose to 1. Set up three new all-India institutes of Ayurveda.
02:572. Upgrade Aayush pharmacies and drug testing labs for higher standards of certification ecosystem
03:08and make available more skilled personnel.
03:133. Upgrade the WHO Global Traditional Medicine Center in Jamnagar
03:18to bolster evidence-based research, training, and awareness for traditional medicine.
