The Delhi government is significantly scaling up AYUSH integration within the capital's public healthcare system. Specifically, Health Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh announced new initiatives to strengthen homeopathy during a scientific seminar on World Homoeopathy Day 2026. This move highlights the government's commitment to bridging traditional systems with mainstream medicine for holistic patient care.
Currently, Delhi operates over 120 homeopathic dispensaries that serve nearly 19 lakh patients annually. These facilities provide free consultations and medicines to a growing number of citizens. Consequently, the government plans to open new polyclinics to address increasing demand and staff shortages. Furthermore, the minister emphasized the importance of the co-location model. This strategy allows patients to access multiple treatment systems under one roof. Consequently, it streamlines the patient experience across both allopathic and AYUSH departments.
A key highlight of the recent seminar was the 'Manas Swasthya' vision. This program targets psychosomatic disorders through a combined approach of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Homeopathy. Moreover, the minister noted that homeopathy offers immense potential for stress management and chronic conditions. Leading experts from organizations like the Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH) attended the event. They emphasized the need for evidence-based research to further validate these integrative models. Ultimately, the government aims to expand services to underserved areas to ensure equitable healthcare access for all residents.
