Practice questions

Q1With reference to the five-day editorial workshop recently launched by the Ministry of Ayush on the WHO-ICHI framework, consider the following statements: 1. The workshop is organised by the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS) through the National Institute of Indian Medical Heritage (NIIMH), Hyderabad. 2. The ICHI framework is being developed exclusively for the Ayurveda system among India's traditional medicine systems. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only

B 2 only

C Both 1 and 2

D Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: the workshop is organised by CCRAS through its WHO Collaborating Centre, the National Institute of Indian Medical Heritage (NIIMH), Hyderabad (CC IND-177). Statement 2 is incorrect: the ICHI framework and the National Health Intervention Codes are being developed for all three systems, namely Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani (ASU), not for Ayurveda alone. Hence, only statement 1 is correct.

Q2Consider the following statements regarding the Ministry of Ayush's engagement with the WHO framework: Assertion (A): The Ministry of Ayush is working to integrate Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani interventions into the WHO's International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI) framework. Reason (R): The National Institute of Indian Medical Heritage (NIIMH), Hyderabad, is a WHO Collaborating Centre designated CC IND-177. Select the correct answer using the code given below:

A Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

B Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

C A is true but R is false

D A is false but R is true

Explanation

Both statements are factually true. The Ministry of Ayush, through CCRAS and NIIMH, is indeed working to integrate Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani interventions into the WHO-ICHI framework (A is true), and NIIMH, Hyderabad, is a WHO Collaborating Centre designated CC IND-177 (R is true). However, R does not explain WHY the Ministry is undertaking this integration; NIIMH's status as a Collaborating Centre only identifies the nodal institution routing the work, not the rationale for the integration itself. Hence both are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
