| Summary: | Since its inception in 2014, the
Institute of Natural Medicine and Complementary Therapies
(IMNTC) has set up a strategy for providing, promoting, and
developing traditional and natural medicine and
complementary therapies based on two key lines of action:
revival of ancestral knowledge and practices of indigenous
peoples and afro-descendants, and integration of IMNTC into
the community and family health model (MOSAFC). Based on
this and with World Bank (WB) - led technical and financial
support under the Strengthening the Public Health Care
System Project, the healthcare staff training plan is being
implemented, along with the promotion, education, and
dissemination of natural medicine, research, and the
strengthening of complementary therapy and holistic pain
management clinics nationwide. |
