‘Ayurveda - 2009’ in Sri Lanka

The National Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka in association with the Ministries of Indigenous Medicine, Export Development and International Trade, Enterprise Development and Investment Promotion, Industrial Development and Tourism and the Department of Ayurveda, has taken the leadership to gear up an international event “Ayurveda 2009” for the second time. This foremost international exhibition and symposium on indigenous healthcare in Sri Lanka will be supported by other Ministries, Universities, Govt. and private sector ayurvedic organisations.

The event has already been officially launched by hoisting the flag with a pride of Sri Lankan healthcare tradition. The exhibition and symposium will be opened from May 23 to May 25 at BMICH.

Ayurveda 2009 is especially geared for the following - foreign investors, exhibitors to showcase their products and services, manufacturers of Ayurvedic, Siddha, Unani and Homeopathy products, manufacturers of medical equipment, hospitals, exporters and importers of ayurvedic products, professionals, herbal cosmetics , to promote nature friendly health food, herbal drinks and provide a common platform for buyers and sellers to meet each other.

This has given us a valuable opportunity to create a meaningful dialogue and interactive link between Government and private sector stakeholders with the intension of advancement of Ayurveda. This is the first international event taking place just after overcoming the uncertainty in the North and East.

It will also attract many foreign companies and visitors who will have an opportunity to see for themselves that Sri Lanka is one of the safest countries in the world not only for travelling but also for investing.

The symposium will be organised on broader theme and eminent scholars from the countries like India, UK, Japan, Germany have been invited to join with Sri Lankan experts. Most recent advancements and scientific findings in Ayurveda will be discussed and presented at the symposium.

This also will be a golden opportunity for the knowledge-seeking Ayurvedic practitioners and other professionals to share their experiences, a statement says.
