India plans to establish an Ayush chair at Durban University of Technology, aiming to boost Ayurveda education and traditional medicine research in South Africa. Monal Das, Joint Secretary for International Cooperation in the Ministry of Ayush, announced the initiative at a conference in Durban, stating that the chair would promote the integration of Ayurveda and other Ayush systems into health education and facilitate academic exchanges between India and South Africa.
The Ministry of Ayush has already signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for establishing the chair and has previously set up similar chairs in Malaysia, Australia, and Mauritius. Das also called for mutual recognition of traditional medicine systems and pharmacopoeial standards to facilitate the availability and practice of traditional medicines in both countries.
