India is the only country in the globe with officially recognized multiple systems of medicine, namely Allopathy; Ayurveda; Yoga and Naturopathy; Unani; Siddha; and Homoeopathy. The traditional medicine came into the limelight because of the politicization of the traditional medicine agenda. India adopted a parallel model within the national health care system through the Indian Medicine Central Council Act in 1970. The modern and traditional medicines are separate within this. The National Health Policy of 1983 also focuses on the Indian Systems of Medicines and Homeopathy. The Department of Indian Systems of Medicines and Homoeopathy (ISM and H) was established under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in 1995. This was renamed as the Department of Ayurveda; Yoga and Naturopathy; Unani; Siddha; and Homoeopathy (AYUSH) in 2003.The origin of Ayurveda goes back to 5.000 B.C. in India. It has been written in Sanskrit language. Unani originated in Greece around 980 A.D. and was introduced in India by the Arabs. The literature available is in Arabic and Persian language. Siddha originated in the southern part of India and the literature available is in Tamil language (AYUSH, 2007). After a brief description of the scope of the traditional medicines (Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha and some tribal drugs) in India, the issues related to their research, standardization and Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Systems (TRIPS) is documented in this article.

India is a pluralistic, multilingual and multi-ethnic country located in Southeast Asia. It is the 2nd largest populated country which has the 7th position in the geographical area. Since 1990 India has emerged as one of the wealthiest economies in the developing world. Recently it is the second fastest growing major economy in the world. Despite the fact that economical development in India has been accompanied by increases in life expectancy, literacy rates and food security, India’s performance in the area of health care has been still far from satisfactory. The system of financing health care as a one of the most privatized in the world faces especially many problems. This paper would therefore attempt to describe and assess the system of financing health care in India. In order to outline to the readers the overall country context the first section will provide a brief description of the demographic, economic and health profile of the Indian population. The second and third sections will present the main methods of funding health care in India as well as and the budget of health care system. The concluding section would attempt to assess the financing system in India and offer a way forward for the better achievement of health care system goals.
