Abstract:
The widespread application of traditional medicine has attracted increasing attention. To promote the security of traditional medicine, WHO has established a series of global policies and strategies with consistency since 1960s. It also formulated guidelines for harvesting, production and operation, and quality control of botanical medicine according to the development of traditional medicine in different times. Thanks to the technical support of WHO, member states have established technical regulations for traditional medicine according to their own situations, and made significant achievements in the promotion of traditional Chinese security.
