A satellite institute of National Institute of Unani Medicine with attached hospital has been established at Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. A total number of 23 Institutes/Centres/Units are working under the CCRUM across the country. Apart from this, 262 Unani hospitals and 1745 Unani dispensaries are functioning in the country including Odisha as per details at Annexure-I. The following steps have also been taken for expansion of Unani system of medicine:

- (i) Central Research Institute of Unani Medicine (CRIUM), Hyderabad has been upgraded to National Research Institute of Unani Medicine in Skin Disorders (NRIUMSD), Hyderabad.
- (ii) Regional Research Centre (RRC) has been upgraded to Regional Research Institute of Unani Medicine (RRIUM) at Silchar.
- (iii) Clinical Research Unit (CRU) has been established at Imphal, Manipur.
- (iv) Regional Research Institute of Unani Medicine (RRIUM), Mumbai has been shifted to a newly constructed common building of Central Council for Research in Unani Medicine (CCRUM) and Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH) at Khargar, Navi Mumbai.
