Challenges and Way Forward

Challenges:
• Inadequate research in the Ayurveda field. Insufficient Evidence Generation &

Documentation about the successful treatment of certain diseases with Ayurveda

therapy claimed by practitioners.
• Inadequate resource and special fund
• Insufficient production, broadcasting and dissemination of health-related

messages and materials for publicity of Ayurveda.

• Inadequate experts and qualified HR in the field of research.
• Inadequate basic health service centres of Ayurveda in local level.
• Quality assurance challenge in medicinal plants due to rapid climate changes.

• Sustainability of medicinal resources.

centre to establish health tourism.

• Establishing “Herb Collection and Processing Centre” to make use of the
availability of valuable medicinal herbs in Nepal.
• Establishing Provincial Ayurveda and Alternative Medicine Hospitals.
