(MAY-2025)

Recently, the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge), Ministry of Ayush; and Union Minister of State, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India launched the AyushSuraksha Portal at Ayush Bhawan, New Delhi.

This portal represents a significant advancement in pharmacovigilance and regulatory convergence within the Ayush ecosystem.
It is developed with the technical support of the Central Council for Research in Siddha (CCRS).
It is aligned with the National Pharmacovigilance Program, allows consumers, healthcare professionals, and regulatory authorities to report and monitor misleading advertisements and adverse drug reactions through a seamless digital process.
The system integrates multiple authorities, including the Ayush vertical under CDSCO, MoI&B, CCPA, NCISM, NCH, PCI, FSSAI, and State Licensing Authorities, ensuring coordinated response and enforcement.

The Ministry of Ayush now has a centralised and accessible dashboard of reported cases, enabling real-time tracking, swift regulatory action, and detailed data analysis.
The system also ensures that citizens have a direct channel to voice their concerns, with transparent visibility into the action taken on their reports.
By integrating data from State Licensing Authorities, national pharmacovigilance centres, and key regulatory stakeholders, the portal facilitates real-time monitoring, systematic analysis, and coordinated action on misleading advertisements and adverse drug reactions.
It reflects the Ministry’s unwavering commitment to responsible governance, evidence-based practices, and the safety of millions of citizens who trust and rely on India’s traditional systems of medicine.
