The World Health Organization (WHO), as one of the fundamental criteria for assessing the level of development of traditional medicine in countries, has
determined the degree of its integration into the existing health care system. Highly appreciating the dynamics of the development of traditional medicine in
our country, we always refer to this criterion defined by the WHO. Indeed, there are many positive things in this direction. Just listing everything that has been done over the past 15 years would take several pages. I will note the main thing
– manual therapy and reflexology have become medical specialties, the
homeopathic method of treatment has been officially approved for use, herbal medicine, bioresonance therapy, osteopathy and a number of diagnostic methods
of traditional medicine have received official recognition. A licensing system for activities in the field of traditional medicine has been created and is functioning.
