Ayurvedic medicine could help in combating diseases in Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean. This can be facilitated through the establishment of a centre for Ayurvedic medicine in collaboration with the University of the West Indies (UWI) and the University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT). Minister of Foreign Affairs and Communications, Dr Surujattan Rambachan told the opening session of the Ayurvedic Seminar and Workshops at the Divali Nagar he hoped the sessions will bring “enlightenment on the value and benefits which can be derived from Ayurvedic medicine, as well as, the role of traditional healing in combating diseases in Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean.”
Dr Rambachan said he welcomed the opportunity for dialogue and partnerships with all stakeholders, local and international, to create sustainable avenues for growth. “We hope that the discussions taking place will lead to greater collaboration and the exchange of ideas and views will set the foundation for a mutual beneficial relationship between the Ayurvedic institutions of India and our local practitioners and institutions,” he said. Rambachan and his colleagues, Minister of Health Dr Fuad Khan and Minister of Tourism Dr Rupert Griffith met with members of a delegation led by Shri Anil Kumar, Secretary of the Indian Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Department of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Siddha and Homoeopathy) and the Indian High Commissioner, Shri Malay Mishra.
