Continuing with its efforts to augment human resources for the management of Covid-19 cases, the Central government on Friday issued an advisory for induction of trained Ayush human resources for clinical management of the virus infection.

The decision to deploy Ayush (ayurveda, yoga, unani, sidhant and homeopathy) professionals on the frontlines of the Covid-19 war is in continuation of decisions taken a few days back to boost availability of medical personnel to fight the pandemic such as postponement of the NEET-PG Exam, giving priority to medical personnel completing 100 days of Covid-19 duties in forthcoming regular government recruitments, and deployment of medical interns in Covid-19 management duties under the supervision of their faculty.
