Ayurveda Yoga to help death with post-COVID-19 problems Naik

    Panaji, Nov 22 (PTI) Union Minister of State for AYUSH
Shripad Naik has said Ayurveda, Yoga and other systems will be
greatly helpful for the entire world in dealing with the
post-COVID-19 difficulties.
    In a series of tweets on Saturday, Naik said a new
model of healthcare delivery with more emphasis on preventive
measures is needed for effectively countering such a crisis in
future.
    The profound impact of the pandemic will lead to
fundamental changes in society and healthcare system, he said
after addressing through virtual mode a global web conference
on 'Post COVID-19 Era - Health & Humanity Impact on Human and
Societies'.
    "I am sure that Ayurveda, Yoga and other systems will
be greatly helpful for the entire world in dealing with the
Post Covid difficulties," tweeted Naik, who himself recovered
from the coronavirus infection in September.
    He said Ayurveda and other traditional systems of
medicines by virtue of their holistic approach towards health
and disease and cost effectiveness have an edge in dealing
with health problems with primary prevention of disease.
    "These systems also have solutions for combating the
psychological and emotional problems arising after the
pandemic," he tweeted.
    Ayurveda has been included in the national treatment
protocol jointly launched by the Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare and the Ministry of AYUSH, he said.
    "India is not only taking effective measures to
prevent and treat this disease in the national context but is
also a strong supporter of joining international efforts," the
minister said. PTI RPS
