There is a need to create start-up ecosystems in Ayurveda, which would help in combining traditional wisdom and innovative approaches, speakers at a two-day Global Ayurveda Summit, which began at Angamaly, on Thursday said.
The summit that is being held along with the 10th edition of the Kerala Health Tourism 2023 International Conference is being organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in association with the Government of Kerala and the Ministry of AYUSH. The summit’s focal theme is ‘Mainstreaming Ayurveda through Branding, Research, Artificial Intelligence and Start-ups’.
Inaugurating the summit virtually, former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga was all praise for Ayurvedic practitioners in Kerala and recounted that his daughter, who had faced aneurysm, and had been partially blind after a surgery, regained her sight following treatment at an Ayurveda eye hospital in the State. This was after his daughter was taken to Israel, China, and Germany for treatment, but without any success.
