Integration of AYUSH in national health systems

The Ministry of AYUSH, in partnership with the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare under the National Health Mission (NHM), is mainstreaming AYUSH by co‑locating its facilities at Primary Health Centres, Community Health Centres and District Hospitals. As of 30 December 2025, AYUSH services are allocated in 13,249 health facilities (PHCs 6,302; CHCs 3,191; DHs 475; other 3,281) with 25,322 AYUSH doctors and 5,666 AYUSH paramedics deployed. A dedicated AYUSH Vertical under the DGHS provides planning and monitoring, while quality control is ensured through the Drugs & Cosmetics Act, 1940 and the Pharmacopoeia Commission. Multiple research councils (CCRAS, CCRUM, CCRH, CCRS, CCRYN) are undertaking integration studies and collaborative projects with modern medical institutions.
