Overview <\/p>\n
The first WHO survey on traditional medicine focused on national policies for traditional
\nmedicine and complementary and alternative medicine, as well as the regulation of
\nherbal medicines. These policies and regulations were intended to ensure the safety,
\nquality, and efficacy of these services and products, serving as an important step towards
\nintegrative health-care systems. The survey included a total of 21 questionnaire items.<\/p>\n
The second WHO survey on traditional medicine expanded to include national policies
\nand regulations for traditional and complementary medicine. A new Section III on
\npractice, providers, education, and health insurance was added to reflect emerging
\ntrends in these areas. This survey consisted of a total of 39 questionnaire items.<\/p>\n
The third WHO survey on traditional, complementary and integrative medicine
\nincluded 64 main questionnaire items, with several sub-questions. The 2023 traditional,
\ncomplementary and integrative medicine survey gathered information and data
\nfrom WHO Member States on a range of topics, from the governance of traditional,
\ncomplementary and integrative medicine health services to patient satisfaction with the
\ntraditional, complementary and integrative medicine available to them. It covered not
\nonly the availability of traditional, complementary and integrative medicine facilities,
\nworkforce, and products but also efforts to ensure their quality and suitable models for
\nservice delivery. This included quality assurance processes to ensure that traditional,
\ncomplementary and integrative medicine services are available, accessible, of good
\nquality, and safe.<\/p>\n
This report includes data from the first, second, and third surveys, with some items
