WHO acknowledges Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani in the Global Healthcare System

The World Health Organization (WHO) has formally acknowledged Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani by including traditional medicine conditions in its International Classification of Diseases (ICD) module. This is a major milestone for India's ancient healing systems and opens the door to their integration into global healthcare.

The new ICD module will allow nations across the globe to systematically document, monitor, and study traditional medicine practices for their scientific confirmation and international acceptability. WHO in this action recognizes the significant contribution of traditional medicine in complementing contemporary health care, particularly preventive and integral care.

The acknowledgment is likely to drive scientific research in Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani more quickly, which would result in better-organized clinical trials, medical education courses, and policy interventions globally. It will also promote regulation and legalization of traditional medicine, facilitating its incorporation into mainstream health. The move of WHO has been welcomed by India's government with it being dubbed as a tremendous win for the country's traditional medicine industry.

The AYUSH Ministry (Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) has also shown hope that this development will enhance the acceptance of traditional medicine globally and facilitate holistic healthcare solutions.

With WHO's support, Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani will see increased credibility in the global healthcare system. As more nations consider models of integrative medicine, these traditional healing systems may have a pivotal role in controlling chronic diseases, lifestyle disorders, and mental health.

This recognition will probably lead to funding, educational programs, and legislative changes, securing traditional medicine's place alongside contemporary medical sciences. It marks the beginning of a new era in which traditional wisdom and modern medical treatment combine to improve health results worldwide.
