The World Health Organization (WHO) presents its compliments to Member States and
has the honour to inform them that WHO will conduct the third WHO global survey on
traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine. This survey aims to develop a new global
traditional medicine strategy for the period 2025–2034, as decided by the Executive Board at its
152nd session, and share country progress during the first WHO Traditional Medicine Global
Summit, which will be held on 17 and 18 August 2023.
Following the EB152(18) (2023) decision to develop a new global traditional medicine
strategy for the period 2025–2034, in line with the WHO Traditional Medicine Strategies
2002–2005 and the 2014–2023, and relevant World Health Assembly resolutions (WHA69.24
(2016); WHA72.2 (2019); WHA72.15 (2019)), WHO will consult with Member States to
provide opportunities to review and provide input on governance, financing, physical
infrastructure, health workforce, products, information and research, models of care, quality,
access and availability, service coverage, responsiveness, and Member States’ needs related to
traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine.
This third WHO global survey will be conducted via a new survey portal with designated
focal point(s). Therefore Member States are requested to send the name and contact details (title,
affiliation and email address) of the designated focal point(s) to Dr Sangyoung Ahn at
[email protected] no later than 5 May 2023. Focal points will then receive instructions on how
to access and complete the survey.
It is expected that this third global survey will be open in May 2023 and will close eight
weeks after. Any input provided by country focal points after the closing date may not be fully
reflected in the country progress for the first WHO Traditional Medicine Global Summit or
in the new global traditional medicine strategy 2025–2034.
The World Health Organization takes this opportunity to renew to Member States the
assurance of its highest consideration.
