As the unvaccinated children are preparing to resume their physical classes, the state Health department has approved a series of ayurveda preventive medicines to prevent the risk of health problems.
The medicines will be available at the various government ayurveda hospitals and Ayur Raksha clinics.
The decision was taken after the state ayurveda Covid response cell (SACRC) submitted an action plan for ayurveda prophylactic care in children under project Kiranam. The action plan is based on the recommendations of Ayush ministry.
SACRC has been implementing several programmes to prevent, mitigate and rehabilitate Covid patients in the state by coordinating all the ayurvedic departments. Amritham, the ayurvedic preventive strategy for Covid-19 quarantined individuals, has gained wide acceptance and has shown clinically viable results in various studies.
