摘要
Introduction: In 2012, WHO began the process for responding to the World Health Assembly Resolution on Traditional Medicine WHA62.13 and upgrading the WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy 2002-2005. Methods: Over the course of 18 months, the WHO developed a plan for developing the Strategy, by inviting a number of experts from around the world to contribute to the document. Four international collaborative meetings were held in order to collate international views and opinions. Results: Resulting from these meetings and consultations, the WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy 2014-2023 was subsequently published in the fall of 2013. Conclusions: The primary goal of the document was to provide strategic direction for Member States as they move forward with regulatory and policy development around traditional and complementary medicine (T&CM).
