Traditional, complementary and integrative medicine – or TCIM – strengthens health systems and makes them more people-centred and resilient.
The benefits of this powerful field of health is taking centre stage at the 2nd Global Summit on Traditional Medicine, which the World Health Organization is proud to host with the Government of India.
This year, the World Health Assembly adopted the WHO Global Traditional Medicine Strategy 2025–2034, focusing on:
•strengthening evidence
•ensuring safety and quality
•integrating TCIM into national health systems
•unlocking its broader value for biodiversity, sustainability and community well-being.
To turn this into action, WHO established the Global Centre for Traditional Medicine in India.
No single country, culture or tradition has all the answers. But together, we hold the collective wisdom we need.
