For the second time since its launch in 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Summit on Traditional Medicine took place in India, bringing attention to the role of natural and cultural remedies around the world, as well as the science behind them. 

On the sidelines of the summit in New Delhi, UN News’s Anshu Sharma spoke with Sung Chol Kim of WHO’s Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine unit, about advances in the field.

Mr. Kim outlined what traditional medicine is, the WHO’s role in advancing evidence-based traditional medicine, and the progress made so far.

He also explained how traditional medicine differs from biomedicine. Its focus on prevention is just one of those ways.
