TCIM and NCDs

Traditional Medicine (TM) plays a significant role in managing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. Studies show TM can complement conventional treatments, improve clinical outcomes, and offer affordable options for managing chronic conditions. However, greater integration into healthcare systems, awareness of potential herb-drug interactions, and improved research methodologies are needed to fully leverage TM’s potential in addressing the global NCD burden.
