Traditional and complementary medicine (T&CM) has long been integral to healthcare systems worldwide. With increasing recognition of its benefits, it is crucial to explore the complex legal and regulatory frameworks that govern its practice. This symposium aims to shed light on the existing policies, identify gaps, and propose innovative solutions to enhance the integration of T&CM into modern healthcare systems.
Persian medicine, with its rich history and holistic approach, offers unique insights into the broader context of traditional healing practices. As we delve into topics ranging from policy formulation to regulatory challenges, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of how these systems can coexist with conventional medicine to provide comprehensive healthcare options for all.
The symposium will feature a diverse range of presentations, panel discussions, and workshops led by experts in the field. We encourage active participation, as your insights and experiences are vital for enriching our conversations and driving forward our collective mission. Our goal is not only to share knowledge but also to inspire collaboration and innovation that can lead to effective policy changes and improved regulatory frameworks.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all participants, speakers, and sponsors for your commitment to this vital field. Your engagement is crucial for advancing our understanding and improving the regulatory landscape of T&CM. Together, we can create a more inclusive, informed, and effective healthcare environment that respects traditional practices while embracing modern advancements.
