In a touching and memorable moment at the Global AYUSH Investment and Innovation Summit in Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi affectionately bestowed the name ‘Tulsi Bhai’ upon WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. This endearing gesture followed Dr. Tedros’s playful request for a Gujarati name, reflecting his growing bond with the region.
During the summit, PM Modi explained the cultural and traditional significance of the Tulsi plant in Indian households and rituals. He remarked, “I will call him ‘Tulsi bhai’ as a Gujarati. Tulsi is a plant that modern generations are forgetting. Generations have worshipped Tulsi. You can also use the Tulsi plant in marriage. So now you are with us.”
The affectionate exchange came shortly after Dr. Tedros congratulated PM Modi on his re-election, expressing his anticipation for continued collaboration with India towards achieving ‘HealthForAll’. The WHO chief posted on X: “Congratulations Prime Minister @narendramodi on your reelection. I look forward to continuing @WHO-#India close collaboration for #HealthForAll.”
In response, PM Modi acknowledged this partnership and emphasized their shared vision of ‘One Earth One Health’. He also highlighted the significance of the first WHO Global Centre for Traditional Medicine in India, which marks a milestone in their joint efforts towards integrating traditional medicine into global health practices.
“Thank you my friend Tulsi Bhai! India’s cooperation with WHO promotes our vision of ‘One Earth One Health’. The first WHO Global Centre for Traditional Medicine in India adds to our joint efforts towards holistic healthcare,” PM Modi responded.
This heartwarming interaction at the Global AYUSH Summit not only underscored the deepening relationship between India and the WHO but also highlighted the cultural connections that enhance global partnerships. The naming of Dr. Tedros as ‘Tulsi Bhai’ symbolizes the mutual respect and shared goals in their ongoing efforts to promote health and well-being worldwide.
