The second World Health Organization Global Summit on Traditional Medicine has unveiled the Traditional Medicine Global Library (TMGL), a first-of-its-kind digital platform consolidating 1.6 million resources on traditional medicine, ranging from scientific studies to indigenous knowledge. With advanced features such as ‘evidence and gap maps’ and an AI-powered tool, TMGL GPT, the library promises to facilitate access to trusted information and accelerate research worldwide, the WHO said.
At the summit, which concluded recently in Delhi, a new advisory body — Strategic and Technical Advisory Group on Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine (STAG-TM) — was announced to guide global strategy. Countries also rallied behind the Delhi Declaration, which looks to integrate traditional medicine into primary healthcare, strengthen regulation and safety standards, invest in research, and build interoperable data systems to track outcomes, the WHO added.
