Description

• Title:
  Traditional and academic medicine – around the WHO strategy
• Creator:
  Wrześniewska-Wal, Iwona
• Description:
  The aim of the work is to show the strategy of the World Health Organization (WHO) according to which various ways of improving health are currently being sought, including knowledge, skills and practices based on theories, beliefs and experiences indigenous to various cultures. The problem is significant because out of 194 WHO member states, 170 reported the use of these practices by patients, but only 124 of them have adequate legal regulations. However, for patients, in addition to the law, evidence, data and scientific analysis are needed that these practices are effective and safe. And the doctor who provides health services is obliged to apply current medical knowledge and relies on objective criteria. Otherwise, they are exposed to the charge of infringement of the rules of conduct and sanctions. The article shows the direction of WHO's activities regarding the use of traditional medicine.
