Message from the Chairman

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

The 3rd World Congress on Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine, organized by CABSIN, ISCMR, and ESIM, is a scientific and humanitarian event, held for the first time in the Global South and Latin America. We will bring together researchers, health professionals, and authorities from 67 countries to discuss innovative research and experiences that will bridge the gap between ancestral traditional and indigenous medicine, modernity with its technological achievements reflected in translation by artificial intelligence, and the future guidelines presented in the WHO Strategy 025-2024.

This global event aims to promote the strengthening of evidence-based global public health and address gaps and challenges, including mental health, chronic noncommunicable diseases such as cancer, pain syndromes, antimicrobial resistance, women’s health, and advancing health promotion for healthy longevity.

The event now features a hybrid format (online and in-person), as well as cultural and movement activities blended with scientific activities, thus implementing the concept of a healthy congress.

It is with immense joy, honor, and a profound sense of historical responsibility that, on behalf of the six Congress presidents, I warmly welcome you to the 3rd WCTCIM, here in the “Marvelous City” of Rio de Janeiro.

Integrative Health World Health Organization Definitions

Traditional Medicine

Sum total of the knowledge, skill and practices based on the theories, beliefs and experiences indigenous to different cultures, as well as scientific and professional expertise, used for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of illnesses and to promote health and well-being.

Complementary Medicine

Used interchangeably for “traditional medicine” in some countries, refers to a broad set of health care knowledge, skills and practices that are not typically part of a country’s established traditional or conventional medicine, and may play a supportive role in conjunction with biomedical care.

Integrative Medicine

Integrative medicine is an interdisciplinary and evidence-based approach to health and well-being by using a combination of biomedical and traditional and/or complementary medical knowledge, skills, and practices. It provides holistic care spanning the care continuum and may involve various health care providers and institutions.
