[Correspondence] WHO's category mistake

WHO's new global traditional medicine strategy aims “to advance the contribution of evidence-based traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine to the highest attainable standard of health and wellbeing”, as “traditional medicine is more than a collection of therapies; it represents a worldview in which health is harmony within and between individuals, communities and ecosystems. Restoring this balance is a scientific, rights-based and sustainability imperative.”1
