Traditional medicine can help deliver healthcare
Keeping in step with global trends, the government has unveiled an ambitious plan to integrate traditional medicine into the mainstream healthcare system by 2028, marking a major shift in how the country approaches healthcare delivery, regulation, and cultural heritage.
Many countries have invested significantly in the integration of traditional, complementary and integrative medicine (TCIM) into national health systems to improve accessibility of health services and achieve universal health coverage (UHC), expand and diversify health care markets, and protect and preserve cultural heritage, biodiversity, and intellectual property.
In 2019, the World Health Organisation (WHO) published its second Global Report on Traditional and Complementary Medicine to serve as a compendium of TCIM policy, regulation, and practice with contributions from 179 member states.
