The medical institutes and hospitals in the country continue to upgrade their infrastructure and amenities at a rapid rate amid the expanding global demand for Ayush.
The Central Ayurveda Research Institute (CARI), New Delhi, and the Central Ayurveda Research Institute, Jhansi, two of the top institutions run by the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS) of the Ministry of Ayush, have both received accreditation from NABH and NABL.

It is dedicated to clinical research in ayurveda and extends health care services through specialized OPDs, Preventive Cardiology & Lifestyle Changes, ENT OPD, Geriatric OPD, Balroga, Sandhiroga, and Clinical.
