Traditional and Complementary Medicine is widely practised and relied upon by a significant proportion of the population in many countries and areas in the Western Pacific Region. In some countries, Traditional and Complementary Medicine represents a significant part of the health sector. This Regional Framework for Harnessing Traditional and Complementary Medicine for Achieving Health and Well-being in the Western Pacific suggests ways in which Traditional and Complementary Medicine can potentially play a larger role in all countries and areas in improving health and well-being, preventing diseases and managing long-term chronic conditions at the primary health-care level.
