On April 29, 2026, during World Homoeopathy Day, Delhi's Health Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh announced plans to strengthen homoeopathy services and integrate AYUSH systems into mainstream healthcare. The initiative was highlighted during a seminar at the NDMC Convention Centre, celebrating the 271st birth anniversary of Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homoeopathy. Singh emphasized the potential of homoeopathy in addressing modern healthcare challenges, particularly in stress management and chronic conditions. Currently, over 120 homoeopathic dispensaries across Delhi provide free consultations and medicines to nearly 19 lakh patients annually, indicating a growing public trust in these services. The government plans to open new polyclinics, address staffing shortages, and expand services, especially in underserved areas. A key initiative is the Integrated AYUSH Stress Management Public Health Programme under the 'Manas Swasthya' vision, which aims to address psychosomatic disorders through a combined approach of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Homoeopathy. The event also featured the release of informative materials on homoeopathy's role in musculoskeletal disorders and recognized notable practitioners, including Padma Shri awardees. The government is committed to enhancing AYUSH infrastructure, expanding access, and promoting research in these systems.
