Doctors and medicines are available  in  all  the  hospitals,  and  yoga  sessions  are  conducted  daily  at  the  Yoga  Wellness Centres  (YWC) and Ayush Health & Wellness Centers now known as Ayushman Arogya Mandir (Ayush).

Under Centrally Sponsored Scheme of National Ayush Mission (NAM), as per the proposals received from State Government through State Annual Action Plans (SAAPs), they have been supported for upgradation of Ayush infrastructure including treatment equipment

and  deployment  of  skilled  personnel.  As  informed  by  the  State  Government,    Ayush Intelligent Medicine Management System (AIMMS) for real time monitoring of patient and medicine  data,  is  in  place  and  operational  in  the  State.  Ministry  of  Ayush  has  been implementing a Central Sector Scheme  Ayush  Oushadhi Gunavatta evam  Uttpadan Samvardhan Yojana (AOGUSY), since FY 2021-22 with total Budgetary allocation of Rs. 122.00  crores  for  five  years  (2021-22  to  2025-26).  One  of  the  components  of  AOGUSY scheme is strengthening and up-gradation of Ayush pharmacies and drug testing laboratories to achieve higher standards. Detailed guidelines are available at: https://ayush.gov.in/resources/pdf/schemes/aoushdhi.pdf

Under  NAM,  there  is  a  provision  for  establishment  of  50/30/10  bedded  Integrated Ayush  Hospitals to get treatments through OPD/IPD  services  from  different  Ayush interventions including Yoga. Accordingly, State Governments avail financial assistance by submitting suitable proposal through SAAP as per the provision of the NAM guidelines.
