The Ayush Expo will be a central feature of the second WHO Global Traditional Medicine Summit (GTMC), to be held this week, and will showcase India’s ancient medicine systems alongside global practices, the Ministry of Ayush said.

GTMC, being organised by the Ministry of Ayush, in association with the World Health Organization (WHO), will be held from December 17 to 19 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi.
