❗Europe is falling behind in #TraditionalMedicine.
At the WHO #2ndglobaltmsummit, @tidovonschoen.bsky.social TCIH Coalition president, warned:
🔸 #TCIM used by 1/3 globally, gets just 1% of research funding
🔸 Western Europe absent
🔸 Only 27% of WHO EU countries integrate #TCIM

In New Delhi this week, the #TCIHCoalition is at the heart of global conversations on the future of #TraditionalMedicine, as the WHO 2nd Global Summit kicks off.
