Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday laid the foundation stone of WHO Global Centre for Traditional Medicine (GCTM) in Jamnagar in Gujarat in the presence of Mauritius Prime Minister Pravind Kumar Jugnauth and World Health Organisation Director–General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
The first of its kind, the GCTM will be a global outpost centre for traditional medicine across the world.
Mr. Ghebreyesus described the centre as a truly global project as 107 WHO member countries have their country–specific governmental offices which means the world will come to India for its leadership in the traditional medicines.
