India has offered its expertise in yoga and Ayurveda to Sweden.
Many countries, including the U.S., France, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Canada, have already asked for teachers and qualified manpower in this area, Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said after inaugurating Indo-Swedish Health Week with his Swedish counterpart Maria Larsson.
“Sweden may also find Ayurveda and yoga to be quite useful and beneficial in the public health area,” he said.
Calling upon Sweden to be a partner in developing health infrastructure in India, the Minister said that greater investment was expected particularly in the fields of diagnostics and pharmaceuticals. “The potential for investments is huge. We would, however, like the partnerships to be structured in a way that allows transfer of technology leading to sustainable capacity building,” he said.
