The first Traditional Medicine Global Summit will be held by the World Health Organization on August 17 and 18, 2023, in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India.

WHO will partner with the Government of India to host the Global Summit, which will serve as a forum for sharing information and new ideas about how traditional medicine contributes to sustainable development and health.

The summit will include traditional medicine practitioners, users, and communities, as well as academics, private industry, and civil society organizations.

The WHO created the WHO Global Centre for Traditional Medicine in March 2022 as a knowledge hub with the goal of igniting traditional knowledge and research for the benefit of human health and the environment.

The Center focuses on collaboration, evidence, data, biodiversity, and innovation to maximize the contribution of traditional medicine to global health and universal health care.

About 40% of today’s pharmaceutical products have traditional medicine roots, according to the WHO.
