As part of the "WHO Strategy* on Traditional Medicine 2014 to 2023," the Indian government reached an agreement with WHO on March 25. This global knowledge center for traditional medicine, supported by the Indian government with an investment of $250 million, will harness the potential of traditional medicine around the world through modern science and technology to improve the health of people and the planet.
The term traditional medicine describes the body of knowledge, skills and practices that indigenous and other cultures have used throughout time to maintain health and prevent diagnose and treat physical and mental illness. It includes ancient practices such as acupuncture, Ayurvedic medicine and herbal mixtures, as well as modern medicines.
The new center focuses on four main strategic areas: Evidence and Learning, Data and Analysis, Sustainability and Equity, and Innovation and Technology to optimize the contribution of traditional medicine to global health and sustainable development.

There is no unity to these terms. The diversity of contents, concepts and methods cannot be subsumed under one common term derived from scientific discourse or public health policy, even though there is a pronounced desire for common ground, basis and acceptance. There is a need for urgent action of all parties involved.
In political discourse, use of the term „CAM“, proposed by the ANME e.V. – the Association for Natural Medicine in Europe – has become less and less common during the past years. Today the terms „CM“ (Complementary Medicine), „IM“ (Integrative Medicine“) as well as „T&CM“ (the latter, Traditional and Complementary Medicine, following the terms used by the World Health Organization) are more commonly used. This change in parlance has prompted the idea of conducting a survey that aims to help sort out which terms are actually being used by our members and other practitioners and service providers as well as the stance ANME e.V. is to take and advocate for in future European politics.

As a first step towards the adoption of a Pharmaceutical Strategy for Europe the Commission published on 2nd of July a roadmap, inviting interested citizens and stakeholders to share their views on the Strategy.

Stella Kyriakides, Commissioner in charge of Health & Food Safety, said:
“By the end of the year, I will present an ambitious Pharmaceutical Strategy for Europe to ensure affordability, sustainability and security of supply.

Citizens, experts and stakeholders are invited to give, until 7 July 2020, their feedback to the roadmap through the Better Regulation Portal and consult the dedicated website for additional information and to follow updates. This roadmap will be followed by a public consultation.
