Union Minister for Culture, Tourism and Development of Northeast Region G.Kishan Reddy on Sunday said the ongoing G-20 meetings were the right forum to discuss ‘universal health coverage by 2030’ and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s aim is to make the country a hub for medical value tourism.
Addressing the working group on health at the HICC here, the Minister said the country had a proud heritage of traditional medical systems such as Ayurveda, Unani and Siddha.
The Centre has also decided to establish a Unani Research Centre in Hyderabad, recognising that it has been practised for decades here. The city is not only the pharma capital but also the vaccine capital of the country, he said.
