PM Modi to inaugurate Goa centre of All India Institute of Ayurveda on Dec 11

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Goa satellite centre of the All India Institute of Ayurveda on Sunday (December 11, 2022). With this, the satellite centre in Goa will open doors of education in the field of Ayurveda for students of the Konkan and nearby areas.

The institute's location in Goa-a hub of tourists coming from all over the world-will also provide some of the best tertiary care facilities, such as Panchakarma, and will play a catalytic role in making the state a hub of medical tourism activities.

The All-India Institute of Ayurveda in New Delhi has already made its mark in public healthcare infrastructure in the form of a tertiary care center that has played an essential role and has benefited as many as 15 lakh patients in the last five



years.

It provides treatment across 36 specialty areas, including panchakarma, diet, lifestyle, yoga, and Ayurveda, and diagnostic technology that is supported with ultra-modern diagnostic technologies, including an ICU.

"Similar services will now be available in Goa. While the biodiversity and the medicinal plants found in the region will benefit the practice of Ayurveda, the AIIA satellite centre in Goa, which is an international tourist destination, will also boost the prospects of medical tourism in the country," said Professor Dr Tanuja Manoj Nesari, Director of All India Institute of Ayurveda talking about the institute.

With its sprawling 50-acre campus, the satellite center in Goa is modelled along the same lines to offer preventive, diagnostic, and tertiary healthcare facilities.
