Indian Public Health Standards for Ayush Hospitals 2024

For the first-time, the centre has announced a comprehensive set of uniform standards for Ayush healthcare services with the aim to provide quality-oriented healthcare to people in the country.

The Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) for Ayush hospitals, was released which focuses on infrastructure development, availability of necessary equipment and skilled professionals and support staff.

Apart from listing essential medicines under Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Unani, and Siddha, the standards also set up norms for a robust system for quality assurance.

India has around 3,844 Ayush hospitals, 60,943 beds under Ayush hospitals, 36,848 dispensaries and 7.56 lakh registered Ayush practitioners.

The government is following an integrative approach so as to take the best practices from both the disciplines, Ayush and Allopathy.

The idea behind the standards was to enhance services at Ayush hospitals by strengthening key components such as infrastructure, human resources, capacity building, medicines, diagnostics, equipment and governance.
