Bengaluru, Dec 9: Primary health services for people can be effectively delivered through the Ayush system by using the appropriate technologies, Dr C N Ashwatha Narayana, Minister for Higher Education and IT/BT, said on Thursday.

Speaking at the inaugural session of ‘JIGNASA-2021’, an international conference on ‘Delivery of Public and Primary Health Services’, he said it was necessary to find solutions to the challenges by making the best use of available technology.

“The post-Covid situation has made the world lean towards becoming virtual and it has been also proved effective. Technology would enable us to reach any corner of the world,’’ he said.

He pointed out that Karnataka was in an advantageous situation as the State in general and Bengaluru, in particular, were in the forefront of technological development.

"We can make the entire world look towards India through the Ayush system,” Narayana felt.

“There lies a knowledge in our ancient science about attaining overall health through treatments of Ayush system. Now, modern technology can be made use of to cater to the health needs and to develop a holistic outlook,’’ he said.
