The World Health Organisation has released its Traditional Medicine Strategy for 2014-2023

The World Health Organisation has released its Traditional Medicine Strategy for 2014-2023 which sends a strong message to all governments around the world that Traditional Medicine (Natural Therapies) is a very important part of health care and that community demand is increasing.

"The WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy 2014–2023 was developed and launched in response to the World Health Assembly resolution on traditional medicine (WHA62.13). The strategy aims to support Member States in developing proactive policies and implementing action plans that will strengthen the role traditional medicine plays in keeping populations healthy."

"Addressing the challenges, responding to the needs identified by Member States and building on the work done under the WHO traditional medicine strategy: 2002–2005, the updated strategy for the period 2014–2023 devotes more attention than its predecessor to prioritizing health services and systems, including traditional and complementary medicine products, practices and practitioners."
