Traditional Medicine is an opportunity for the national health systems to improve the quality of medical services. Therefore, high priority international documents – like WHO strategy of Traditional Medicine - support applying traditional and complementary medicine methods in health care system of the countries. But the rational use of this opportunity and integration of traditional medicine with conventional medicine has its own challenges and problems. Therefore, sharing the countries experiences in the International Symposium on Policy, Legal and Regulatory Landscape of Traditional and Complementary Medicine is a unique chance to make a platform for discussing about this integration based on global experience.
