YEAR OF SUPPORT

The Challenge

Currently there is a large gap between the scientific knowledge produced in the area of Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicines (TCMP) and the accessibility of this knowledge for decision making by public policy managers, mainly due to the lack of comprehensive systematized evidence focused on clinical practice useful to the population.

The Project

This project is a continuation of the previous project supported by MAHLE with the objective of strengthening evidence-based traditional, complementary and integrative medicine (TBCM) in the country with a focus on anthroposophical medicine.

The Impact

The Brazilian Academic Consortium for Integrative Health has proved to be a powerful tool for social transformation in a scenario of great resistance, filling a gap of representation, endorsement and co-construction of medicine beyond the restricted interests in synthetic medicines and high-tech equipment. For Anthroposophy, the elaboration of the HTA – (International State of the Art Dossier on Research in Anthroposophical Medicine and Therapies) would be a reference document to be published in German, English and Portuguese, and disseminated with PAHO/WHO support to all countries.
