NEW DELHI -- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been beating the drum for traditional Indian therapies and yoga ever since he entered office in 2014. His government now aims to make India a prime destination for international patients seeking alternative therapies -- with the help of the World Health Organization and a new visa category.
"We are committed to making India a global medical value hub by further strengthening our traditional medicine industry," Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said in mid-May.
