WHO Guidelines for Quality Assurance of Traditional Medicine Education in the Western Pacific Region by Who Regional Office for the Western Pacific,World Health Organization. Regional Office for the Western Pacific Pdf

These guidelines focus on good practices in traditional medicine (TM) education and quality assurance. They are organized in two parts. Part A provides recommendations for good educational practices that would enable traditional medicine schools in the Western Pacific Region (and elsewhere internationally) not only to meet acceptable standards at a basic level in each broad area, but also to develop further the quality of their programmes in line with consensus about best practice. The guidelines are complementary to the World Federation for Medical Education international standards, which have been adjusted slightly to accommodate TM education. The international standards define basic and quality development standards across nine broad areas divided in 37 sub-areas. Each sub-areas has operationally defined criteria that serve as performance indicators for quality assurance in TM education. Irrespective of the state of development of the TM education system in a country, each TM school can use the operational guidelines to measure itself. The international guidelines in Annex 1 can also be used as a template to develop national versions of the standards. In part B a framework is provided for establishing a quality assurance system at national, subregional or regional levels. The framework relies on peer review.

Guidelines for the Appropriate Use of Herbal Medicines by World Health Organization. Regional Office for the Western Pacific Pdf

Reports the findings and recommendations of a working group convened to prepare guidelines for the use of herbal medicines in Western Pacific countries. Addressed to national health authorities, the report responds to the widespread use of herbal medicines in this part of the world and the corresponding need for mechanisms to ensure that these products are safe and effective, yet remain broadly accessible. With this need in mind, the report sets out a comprehensive framework for developing national policies designed to control the safety, efficacy and quality of herbal medicines, manufacturing practices, product registration and labeling, marketing and trade. The report has two parts. The guidelines are presented in the first, which opens with background information about the objectives of national policies aimed at the promotion, development, and regulation of herbal medicines. The need to define the place of traditional care within modern health systems is discussed together with the importance of conserving plant species. Against this background, the guidelines are presented in five chapters. General guidelines for the development of a national policy are followed by advice on the process by which national policies are developed and implemented. Ten specific issues that need to be addressed are identified and discussed. Subsequent chapters outline legal and other options available for the regulation of practitioners, manufacturers and the distribution system. The guidelines conclude with a description of the different regulatory procedures that can be applied to raw plant materials, processed plant materials and medicinal herbal products. The regulation of medicinal herbal products is discussed in terms of detailed requirements for the registration of both traditionally used products and new products. The chapter also includes advice on labeling requirements, the responsible government agency, and establishment of a system for monitoring adverse reactions. The second part includes a summary of the working group's deliberations and conclusions, followed by brief reports from 14 Western Pacific countries, which document the importance of herbal medicines and summarize existing systems for their regulation and control.

Southern Medicine for Southern People by Laurence Monnais,C. Michele Thompson,Ayo Wahlberg Pdf

What is a national medicine? What does it mean for a medicine to be traditional and scientific at the same time? How could a specifically Vietnamese medicine emerge out of the medical practices and treatments that have flourished and waned during key socio-cultural encounters in Vietnam? This book answers these questions by examining the making of Vietnamese medicine from a historical and contemporary perspective. Ever since its fourteenth century emergence out of the traditions and practices of the much more globally celebrated Chinese medicine, Vietnamese medicine has been engaged in a constant effort to define, guard and more recently, revive itself. In this collection of empirically-rich chapters, international scholars specialising in history, sociology, anthropology and medicine show how this process has played out through very much ongoing North-South and West-East encounters. Vietnamese medicine is practiced, produced and consumed in contexts of medical pluralism and globalisation, not only within Vietnam, but increasingly also among the Vietnamese diaspora around the world. Its development and modernisation cannot be detached from Vietnam’s tumultuous and tragic quest for independence. The compass points that saturate every chapter in this volume suggest that the making of Vietnamese medicine has been as much related to post-colonial national identity formation as it has to national efforts to address the health problems of the Vietnamese people.

Complementary Therapies for the Contemporary Healthcare by Marcelo Saad,Roberta De Medeiros Pdf

Complementary therapies (CTs) are practices, products or systems for health that are outside the domain of conventional medicine (also called Western or allopathic medicine), used either to treat illnesses or to promote health and well-being. Defining CTs is difficult, because the field is very broad and constantly changing. The list of what is considered CT changes continually, and therapies whose safety and effectiveness are demonstrated may become part of conventional medicine. We hope the information from the present book can collaborate in some manner with the ongoing process of evolution of the paradigms related to concepts of health, disease and healing.

Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the World by Ákos Máthé Pdf

Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) have accompanied mankind from its very early beginnings. Their utilization has co-evolved with homo sapiens itself bringing about a profound increase in our scientific knowledge of these species enabling them to be used in many facets of our life (e.g. pharmaceutical products, feed- and food additives, cosmetics, etc.). Remarkably, despite the new renaissance of MAPs usage, ca. 80 % of the world’s population is relying on natural substances of plant origin, with most of these botanicals sourced from the wild state. This first volume and ultimately the series, provides readers with a wealth of information on medicinal and aromatic plants.
