THRISSUR: A Korean firm has taken an initiative to introduce ayurveda in the curriculum of the universities and other educational institutions of that country.
This was disclosed here on Saturday by Managing Director of the firm Chung Bo International (CB) Seong Hee.Um during an interaction programme arranged as part of the ongoing Global Ayurveda Summit being organised by the Vaidyarathnam group of ayurvedic institutions.
Three universities and 45 institutions in Korea have taken interest in introducing ayurveda as part of its curriculum. Those 45 institutions have already introduced the basics of ayurveda like Panchakarma in its course.
She said a memorandum of understanding (MoU) would be signed with the Vaidyarathnam group before December 15 to support her firm in its efforts to introduce ayurveda course in Korea.
Sri Lankan scenario
A team of educationists from Korea will visit Vaidyarathnam to work out the modalities of the introduction of ayurveda course in that country. There will be continuous exchange programmes of personnel from Kerala and Korea as part of promoting ayurveda system of medicine there.
Earlier, inaugurating the technical session of the global summit of ayurveda, Sri Lankan Minister of Health (Indigenous Medicine Department) G.Y.A. Rohana Pushpakumara said three ayurvedic institutes and many research institutions are functioning effectively in his country. There are also three teaching hospitals, 47 base hospitals and 437 central dispensaries in ayurveda there.
Seize the opportunity
Participating in an interaction programme, arranged as part of the global summit, the Chief Executive Officers (CEO) of prominent ayurvedic firms said the Government should extend enough support to enable the industry to seize the opportunity created by the rising global interest in alternative medicines.
Managing Director of the Arya Vaidya Pharmacy (Coimbatore) P.R. Krishna Kumar said the ayurvedic industry would be able to tide over the crisis created by the controversy over the presence of heavy metals in ayurvedic medicines. According to him, the presence of heavy metals in ayurvedic products manufactured in South India was less than the permissible levels.
He suggested that systematic research should be conducted to ensure the quality of ayurvedic medicines as well as to demonstrate its efficacy before the modern scientific audience.
