DoAA is the apex body of Ayurveda and Alternative Medicine under MoHP and is responsible for planning, programming, coordination, supervision, monitoring, and evaluation of Ayurveda and Alternative Medicine service programs. DoAA is predominantly liable for providing Ayurveda and alternative medicine amenities to the population. It is working to make available in an effective manner the quality Ayurveda health services, ensuring easy access within the reach of all citizens of basic health services at free of cost. It plans to produce, acquire, develop, and utilize necessary human resources to make Ayurveda and Alternative Medicine services affordable and effective. Its major task is to develop the Ayurveda medicine system through the systematic management and utilization of available herbs in the country as well as safeguarding and systematic development of other existing Alternative/complementary/Traditional medicine systems.

Ayurveda, an ancient medical system indigenous to Nepal, is deeply ingrained in the country's customs and culture. A significant portion of the population relies on traditional practices for primary healthcare due to factors such as accessibility, affordability, and cultural alignment. With over 400,000 traditional medicinal practitioners practicing various modalities, including ritualistic and spiritual practices, diet, and self-healing, including medicinal herbs, minerals, and animal products. Ayurveda plays a pivotal role in the healthcare system with its interventions ranging from promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative services.  

Department of Ayurveda and Alternative Medicine (DoAA) is predominantly liable for providing Ayurveda and alternative medicine amenities to the population. It operates under MoHP and is responsible for planning, programming, coordination, supervision, monitoring, and evaluation of Ayurveda and Alternative Medicine service programs. 

Creating policies and guidelines for Ayurveda and other traditional medical systems is the responsibility of MoHP's Ayurveda and Alternative Medicine unit within the Policy Planning Monitoring Division. The value of Ayurvedic services in basic healthcare and NCD prevention is acknowledged by both national and international policies. The Constitution of Nepal specifically calls for the protection and promotion of traditional Ayurveda medicines, along with naturopathy and homeopathy. 

In line with the federal structure, there is a need to restructure the Ayurveda system, as outlined in the National Health Policy 2076 (2019)¹ and its strategy 6.7.1. The government's Fifteenth Plan (2076/77-2080/81) provides guidance for the planned development and expansion of Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Homeopathy, and other alternative medicines. Key areas of focus include: 

• Structural development: This involves creating a framework suitable for the identification, prevention, collection, and promotion of locally available medicinal herbs, minerals, and animal-origin medicines. 
• Management and regulation: The plan emphasizes the need for managing and regulating other alternative medicines based on standards and norms. 
• Establishment of centers: This includes the establishment of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Naturopathy Centers, with a particular emphasis on utilizing Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy systems of medicine for the promotion of health tourism. 

The outlined strategies reflect a comprehensive approach to integrate traditional medical practices into the broader healthcare system, addressing both the healthcare needs of the population and the preservation of traditional knowledge and practices.

2081/82 update:

22.1.1 Institutional coverage of Ayurveda and Alternative Medicine Services  

There are Ayurveda health facilities from local to federal level across the nation. There are six Ayurveda health facilities at federal level and six at provincial level. There are no provincial level Ayurveda hospitals in Madhesh, Gandaki and Karnali provinces. There are a total of 77 district level Ayurveda Health Centers including the former regional Ayurveda Chikitshalaya and 305 Ayurveda Aushadhalaya across the country.

22.1.3 Key Service Indicators 

Users of BHS Ayurveda services in FY 2080/81

Figure 22.2 Users of BHS Ayurveda services per 10,000 population in FY 2080/81 

In FY 2080/81, the users of Purba-pancha karma were 486,594, yoga services were 237,056 and among 57734 postnatal women Shatavari was distributed. There was provincial variation in the number of the users. (Table 22.2) This utilization of Ayurveda services across the provinces demonstrates that there is attraction towards therapeutic Ayurveda practices and Yoga services. Understanding the preferences in healthcare and tailoring strategies to ensure equitable access and promotion of province specific relevant traditional and alternative medicine systems will be crucial.

Table 22.3 Total Users of Ayurveda Services in FY 2080/81

Morbidity among users of Ayurveda services 

In addition to basic health service utilization there are a range of the Ayurveda services available, in FY 2080/81, an impressive total of 2304304 individuals availed themselves of Ayurveda services, indicating a remarkable level of user engagement. However, the number of patients served is slightly lowered than previous year. The most frequently reported morbidities included acute peptic disease, musculoskeletal and nervous disorders, respiratory disorders, abdominal disorders, anorectal disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, gynaecological disorders, and geriatric problems. (Figure 22.3, Table 22.1) 

Notably, there is a discernible trend wherein users with non-communicable and chronic conditions exhibit an increasing preference for Ayurveda services. This shift in preference underscores the growing recognition and acceptance of Ayurveda as a viable and effective healthcare option for addressing enduring health challenges especially those related to NCDs control and management. The data suggests a significant role for Ayurveda in catering to the healthcare needs of individuals with persistent health issues, highlighting its relevance and effectiveness in managing a diverse range of morbidities. District-wise Model School for “School Ayurveda and Yoga Program” has been selected to conduct “My health, My responsibility" campaign to prevent non-communicable diseases (including mental disorders).

In FY 2080/81, overall, 97.2% have reported their data to DoAA; and province wise, the reporting rate from AyurvedaHealth Facilities in Koshi, Lumbini and Karnali provinces was 100%.

 Minimum service standards of Ayurveda Health Facilities 

Leveraging insights gained from the implementation of the MSS for health facilities under DoHS, DoAA developed and endorsed from MoHP, the MSS tailored for Ayurveda Health Facilities. MSS for four different level of the AyruvedaHeath Facilities have been developed – MSS for Ayurveda Aushadhalaya, MSS for District level Ayurveda Health Centers, MSS for Province Level Ayruveda Hospital and MSS for Federal Level Ayurveda Hospital. (Fig 22.5) There are three major components of MSS- leadership and governance, support service management and clinical service management with clinical section focused on the Ayurveda services. This achievement by DoAA signifies a noteworthy milestone, laying a strong foundation for delivery of quality Ayurveda services. MSS for Ayurveda Health Facilities is poised to boost operational efficiency, and streamline management processes, and ultimately contribute to the exemplary Ayurveda services.  MSS (Minimum Service Standard) for Ayurveda has been conducted at 21 provincial and district level Ayurveda health facilities for the provision of exemplary Ayurveda healthcare services.
