Abstract
The 2018 Declaration of Astana issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) represents a landmark step for all primary health care, public health, and traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine (TCIM) approaches. It coalesced and advanced the priorities of the WHO's 1978 Alma-Ata Declaration, which emphasized the importance of universal healthcare with UNICEF's Sustainable Development Goals.
Importantly for the field of TCIM, the Declaration of Astana represents the first global primary health care document to explicitly acknowledge the value and importance of traditional medicine systems in achieving successful primary health services. In this the Declaration articulates commitments from the global health community and identifies success drivers to meeting those commitments (see Table 1). Despite not all commitments and drivers being directly linked to TCIM, these collectively represent opportunities for meaningful engagement to improve primary care—opportunities that the TCIM research community is well placed to explore.
