World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW) 18-24 November 2023

 

Antimicrobial Resistance is still one of the most serious health problems.

Traditional, complementary and integrative healthcare therapies like Homeopathy can help to combat this global threat.

 

TCIH practices prioritise holistic health and prevention, underscoring the principles of the One Health approach to harmonise and optimise the well-being of individuals, animals, and the environment.

 

TCIH offers non-antibiotic treatment options, with the potential to decrease the over and misuse of antibiotics and it is a valuable  adjunct therapy alongside conventional treatments, to reduce relapse rates and improve patient well-being. Additionally, as patient awareness and use of TCIH therapies continues to grow, it is crucial to promote informed decision-making.

 

The TCIH Coalition is comprising over 300 organisations in the field of Traditional, Complementary, and Integrative Healthcare (TCIH) globally, ICH being a very active stakeholder. A position paper has just been published titled “The Contribution of Traditional, Complementary, and Integrative Healthcare (TCIH) to Addressing Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR).”
