The proven advances of Complementary Medicine from the legal and ethical point of view”

Integrative Medicine is a field of Health Sciences that is in full development in the most advanced countries, with a large percentage of the population using complementary or alternative forms of treatment at least once in their lifetime: 48% in Australia, 70% in Canada, 42% in the USA, 38% in Belgium, and 75% in France. 

The push for this approach is motivating its inclusion in public health services in countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and the Nordic countries. For example, 90% of pain management services in the United Kingdom and 70% in Germany include acupuncture among the treatments they provide.

In 1998, the European Union completed a COST (European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research) project on non-conventional medicine. With the participation of several government, including Spain, they attempted to demonstrate the possibilities, limitations, and significance of alternative medicine, establishing a common scientific framework, harmonizing legislation, and helping to control healthcare costs. The CAMBRELLA project, a pan-European research network on natural therapies, was launched in January 2010 and has been funded with more than 1.5 million euros through the EU's Seventh Framework Program. The working groups that make up CAMBRELLA focus on terminology, legal framework, patient needs, the role of natural therapy treatments in healthcare systems and research methodology. 

The World Health Organization expressed in this regard the explicit desire to incorporate Traditional Medicine on a global level in its 2014-2023 Strategy.
