New Delhi: The government has introduced the Ayush Visa, a new category specifically designed for foreign nationals seeking medical treatment in India through traditional Indian systems of medicine.

It will boost Medical Value Travel in India. This initiative will strengthen our endeavour to accomplish Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for making Indian traditional medicine a global phenomenon. I also want to compliment Shri Amit Shah, Union Home Minister, GoI for his efforts in creating a special Ayush Visa category.”
