Traditional Medicine
Notes: The NAMASTE (National Ayush Morbidity and Standardised Terminologies Electronic) Portal, which was recently in the news, is associated with the field of Traditional Medicine. This portal plays a significant role in the documentation and standardization of terminologies in the traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy. Its development and launch were integral to the inclusion of traditional medicine terminologies in the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases (ICD) list.
