Establishment of WHO Center in Jamnagar ushered in a new era: Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday that the establishment of the WHO Global Center for Traditional Medicine (GCTM) here will usher in the era of traditional medicine in the world.
The meeting between Modi and Ghebreyesus came days after India objected to the WHO’s methodology for estimating the number of deaths related to COVID-19 in the country. Modi said on the occasion, “As India is still celebrating its 75th year of independence, this foundation stone laying ceremony for this center marks the beginning of a new era of traditional medicine in the world during the next 25 years.” ‘
