The Government has adopted a strategy of Co-location of AYUSH facilities at Primary Health Centres (PHCs), Community Health Centres (CHCs) and District Hospitals (DHs), thus enabling choice to the patients  for different systems of medicines under single window. The engagement of AYUSH doctors and paramedics and their training is supported by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, while the support for AYUSH infrastructure, equipment and furniture and medicines are provided by Ministry of AYUSH under National AYUSH Mission (NAM).
