During an official visit to India, Afghanistan’s Minister of Public Health, Mawlawi Noor Jalal Jalali, attended the World Health Organization’s second global summit on traditional medicine.

The event, held in coordination with India’s Ministry of AYUSH, brought together delegates from nearly 100 countries, including health ministers from 23 nations, alongside WHO officials and international experts.

The summit focused on standardising traditional medicine, training practitioners, recognising its role in healthcare, and sharing global experience.

Afghan officials from the Ministry of Public Health said the aim was to support regulation and standardisation at home, where traditional medicine has long operated without clear rules but is now undergoing reform.
