Traditional Medicine Gains Global Momentum: WHO Prepares for 2025 Summit

The World Health Organization (WHO) is set to launch its draft Global Strategy for Traditional Medicine 2025-2034 at the World Health Assembly in May 2025. This initiative follows the extension of the current strategy until 2025, reflecting growing global interest in traditional medicine. The 2nd WHO Global Traditional Medicine Summit is scheduled for December 2025 in New Delhi, India. With the global traditional medicine market expected to reach $289 billion by 2031, countries worldwide are increasingly integrating these practices into their healthcare systems. The WHO Global Traditional Medicine Centre, established in 2022, continues to support evidence-based traditional medicine research and integration.
