WHO faces backlash as it advocates for traditional medicine 

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:41:08 GMT

The World Health Organization on Thursday called for countries to integrate traditional and complementary medicine into their national health systems, despite significant criticism over its support of practices that some experts see as pseudoscience. “Traditional medicine has made enormous contributions to human health, and has enormous potential,” said WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at the WHO Traditional Medicine Global Summit today in India.  The head of the U.N. health body said that traditional medicine was “not a thing of the past,” adding that there was growing demand for it and it was important for preventing and treating non-communicable diseases. “We urge all countries to commit to examining how best to integrate traditional and complementary medicine into their national health systems,” he said. Complementary and alternative medicines are not routinely reimbursed by health insurers, with a 2020 study finding that in Europe, countries such as Sweden, ...

Spanish leader Pedro Sánchez wins vital lifeline from Catalan separatists

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:41:08 GMT

An election repeat in Spain appears less likely after a last-minute deal was reached Thursday regarding control of the Spanish parliament’s main administrative body — providing a boost to socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. Shortly after lawmakers were sworn in, the Catalan separatist Junts party gave its votes to Francina Armengol, the socialist candidate for the presidency of the parliament’s bureau, the powerful body which approves the creation of parliamentary groups, authorizes investigative commissions and ultimately determines which bills are taken up by MPs.Junts’ support was secured in an eleventh-hour deal, which was announced just minutes before the parliament began the new legislative session. The agreement comes as a relief for Sánchez, who hopes to remain in power in the fractured political landscape created by last month’s inconclusive national elections and has spent the past weeks attempting to cobble together sufficient support to form a m...
