Description:
The Indian healthcare datesback to the Vedic system of healthcare (Ayurveda) in 5000 BC. The Ayurvedicprinciples of positive health and therapeutic measures relate to physical,mental, social and spiritual welfare of human beings. During the early Vedicperiod, Ayurveda was perhaps the only system of overall healthcare and medicine.It enjoyed the unquestioned patronage and support of the people and theirrulers. Ayurveda proliferated the most during the Vedic period. The Vedicperiod is followed by a long medieval history marked by uncertain politicalconditions and several invasions from outside the country when Ayurveda facedutter neglect and its growth stunted. Unani medicine was brought into Indiaduring this time and gained momentum with the extensive support of Mughalemperors. With the British invasion, Allopathy was also brought to Indiaand soon got acceptance for swift results. Today, with continuous research anddevelopment, Aallopathy dominates the Indian health care market. Healthcare industry in India is divided into twosegments - services and manufacturing.
