In a bid to strengthen India’s public health infrastructure through integrative healthcare, the MB School of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Mohan Babu University (MBU) in Tirupati is organizing a two-day national seminar on integrating Ayush with community medicine.
The event, titled IACMI-2026, is sponsored by the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR) and will take place on September 7 and 8, 2026.
According to sources, the national seminar is centred on building a comprehensive framework for holistic and sustainable public health across the nation. By bridging the gap between traditional Indian medicine systems and modern community healthcare, the initiative aims to create an inclusive approach to wellness that can be scaled effectively at the grassroots level.
A major focus of the deliberations will be the enhancement of primary healthcare delivery through the integration of Ayush traditional knowledge systems. Experts and researchers will examine strategies to leverage traditional remedies alongside modern clinical methods, focusing particularly on preventing and managing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and lifestyle disorders.
The event will also align its academic and policy discussions with national and global priorities, including Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Organizers emphasize that combining traditional medicine with public health practices is vital for delivering equitable, sustainable, and cost-effective medical care to diverse populations.
The conference organizers have invited abstracts from participants. Final registration for attendees and delegates will remain open until August 31, 2026.
The event is expected to draw a diverse range of delegates, including scholars, academics, and industry professionals. Registration fees have been structured at Rs. 500 for students and research scholars, Rs. 750 for academicians, and Rs. 1,000 for industry delegates, paving the way for broad interdisciplinary dialogue on the future of integrative public health in India.
