Delhi HC asks Niti Aayog committee to expedite process on integrative medicine policy

The Delhi High Court has asked a Niti Aayog committee to expedite the process of formulating a policy on an integrated medical system that combines different branches of medicine. The court observed that there is a wealth of knowledge in systems like allopathy, ayurveda, and homeopathy, and it should be examined whether they can be integrated. The court clarified that the issue of integration should be decided by experts. The petitioner argued that an integrated health system would improve the country's doctor to population ratio and strengthen the healthcare sector.
