Chennai: Arthur D Little (ADL), a global management consulting firm, has announced the launch of the International Ayurveda Alliance (IAA) in partnership with Begin India Think Tank and HumanSTAR.
“It’s aim is to reposition India as a global powerhouse for the ancient medical practice of Indian Ayurveda,” said a statement, adding: “The alliance’s main charter is to drive the creation of the largest global repository of Indian Ayurveda practices, creating an industry-wide technology platform for diagnostics and measurement of clinical outcomes.”
“In the wake of the alarming global consequences of Covid-19, the IAA can be a one-of-its-kind initiative to bolster global healthcare systems,” it added.
Notably, IAA envisages a clinically measurable evidence-based system that will position Indian Ayurveda as a credible medical alternative grounded in modern science. Developing new-age practices such as reverse-pharmacology, associated meta-research and clinical analyses, combined with policy advocacy and thought leadership can enable Indian Ayurveda to take a prominent place in global health systems.
Alongside, incorporating the best practices of other successful traditional medicinal frameworks from across the world will create a formidable synthesis.
Practitioners equipped with this knowledge will benefit from valuable training and certifications grounded in the science of Indian Ayurveda.
