New Delhi, December 17—India will be hosting the Second WHO Global Summit on Traditional Medicine. The event is not just another summit, but a substantial step towards blending traditional medicine into modern healthcare system. The World Health Organization (WHO) is assembling the top policymakers, scientists, medical doctors, and practitioners of traditional medicine from across the globe. The ultimate objective of this global networking is to promote health and well-being that are holistic as well as scientifically verified.
The main topic of this year’s conference “Science and Practice of Well-Being” is too appropriate. Systems like Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and other indigenous practices are gradually being acknowledged for their worth. The contributors of the conference will explore different means of improving the research, consolidating the clinical authentication, and ensuring that traditional medicine is used universally in a safe and ethical manner.
The WHO Traditional Medicine Global Library launch is going to be one of the significant events at the summit. It’s a huge digital resource—a one-stop source for anyone looking for credible research, clinical evidence, policy guidelines, and best practices in traditional medicine. As a result, the library becomes a clearer and better tool for decision-making among researchers, practitioners, and governments.
Top WHO officials indicate that for billions of people across the globe, traditional medicine is not only an alternative, but also a major component of primary healthcare. Therefore, they advocate for establishing standards, quality control measures, and the wise co-existence of modern and traditional medicine. The summit is therefore an attempt to bring to an end the divide between the ancient vault of knowledge and modern science.
The significance of India as a host for this event cannot be underlined enough. The country has both the expertise and the pedigree of the healing systems and is taking the front seat in the global health talks. This summit should trigger not only the closeness of different countries, but also the creation of new ideas and the construction of healthcare systems that are liberal, yet efficient and eco-friendly—exactly the same as the global health goals.
This meeting is really a milestone with holistic and preventive care gaining popularity worldwide. The summit thus becomes a window to open the well-being of tomorrow with traditional practices that can withstand scientific scrutiny.
