Abstract


India has officially accepted pluralistic systems of medicine that include conventional medicine and the other AYUSH systems of medicine. Study of epidemiology and public health are often neglected in medical curricula of all the systems of medicine in India. It is essential to initiate endeavour for establishing trans-system epidemiology for health policy and its effective implementation. We present perspective for such an endeavour.
