Abstract

Traditional medicine (TM), with its rich history and cultural significance, continues to play an essential role in healthcare systems worldwide. In Pakistan, the integration of traditional medicine into national health systems offers both opportunities and challenges. This paper explores the potential benefits of incorporating TM into Pakistan's healthcare framework, highlights the hurdles faced during its integration, and proposes strategies for its effective implementation. Through a review of current practices, policies, and case studies, the paper aims to create a framework for harmonizing modern medical practices with traditional healing systems, ensuring comprehensive and culturally sensitive healthcare delivery.
