Global Traditional Medicine Strategy 2025-2034
The Global Traditional Medicine Strategy 2025–2034 represents the World Health Organization’s (WHO) renewed commitment to ensuring universal access to safe, effective, and people-centred traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine (TCIM). Building on the foundations laid by previous strategies (2002–2005 and 2014–2023), this new strategy provides a clear vision, goals, guiding principles, and four strategic objectives, each supported by actionable directions for Member States, partners, stakeholders, and WHO.
The strategy was formally adopted by the Seventy-eighth World Health Assembly (WHA78) in 2025, following its submission through the Executive Board at its 156th session. Its approval marks a significant milestone in global health policy, reaffirming the importance of TCIM in achieving universal health coverage and the Sustainable Development Goals.
