印度政府在日内瓦与世界卫生组织签署协议，承诺在2022–2032年间向WHO全球传统医学中心投入8500万美元[1]。这笔资金是印度对该中心总投资2.5亿美元的一部分[1]，将用于加强传统医学的证据基础，支持传统医学政策、实践、产品和公众使用的研究[1]。
WHO全球传统医学中心位于印度贾姆纳格[1]，旨在成为传统医学知识中心，促进传统医学的全球整合与发展。WHO助理总干事Bruce Aylward表示："传统实践和知识的融合对于实现全民健康至关重要。"[1]印度卫生部长Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha称此举是"重要里程碑"[1]。
第一届WHO传统医学全球峰会于2023年8月在古吉拉特举行[1]，下一届全球峰会计划于2025年11月举行[1]。
India has committed US$ 85 million over a ten-year period from 2022 to 2032 toward the WHO Global Traditional Medicine Centre, according to an agreement signed in Geneva [1]. This funding represents a portion of India's total US$ 250 million investment in the centre, which is located in Jamnagar, India [1].
The funds will be directed toward strengthening the evidence base for traditional medicine and supporting research into traditional medicine policies, practices, products, and public usage [1]. WHO Assistant Director-General Bruce Aylward emphasized that "integration of traditional practice and knowledge is critical to achieving health for all" [1]. India's Health Minister Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha described the commitment as a "major milestone" [1].
The centre is designed to serve as a global hub for traditional medicine knowledge and to facilitate the worldwide integration and development of traditional medical systems [1]. The first WHO Global Summit on Traditional Medicine was held in Gujarat in August 2023, with the next summit scheduled for November 2025 [1].
