Overview

The potential of Traditional and Complementary Systems of Medicine (TCSM) in responding to existing and emerging health concerns has been recognized worldwide. While concerns about safety, quality and efficacy continue to pose challenges for the growth of such systems of medicine, TCSM have come a long way in terms of exhibiting their therapeutic prowess and gaining recognition from international organizations such as the World Health Organization and the World Bank. But how is TCSM defined? How did the international discourse on TCSM evolve? How did the TCSM assume centerstage in health care discussions? How did countries such as India, China and Japan become global leaders of the TCSM movement? What are the challenges that these countries are facing with regard to regulating and promoting their TCSM? This book casts light on such questions and provides a way forward for national governments and regulatory bodies to develop and safeguard TCSM in their countries.
