Complementary Traditional Medicine Health Policy Integrative Health Service Models Wellness

Abstract

Background: Wellness-based medical health and complementary traditional medicine are increasingly recognized as vital approaches to enhancing the quality of holistic healthcare services. The integration of biomedicine and complementary traditional medicine is considered capable of addressing modern health challenges, such as chronic diseases, stress, and disparities within healthcare systems.

Purpose: To examine integration models for wellness-based medical services and complementary traditional medicine based on international literature, and to analyze the associated policy implications.

Method: This review employed a thematic-narrative approach analyzing 20 selected scientific articles published between 2009 and 2025, utilizing the PRISMA framework and systematic searches across PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases.

Results: Various integration models were identified, ranging from informal collaborations to the establishment of academic consortia. Key facilitating factors include healthcare workforce training, national policies, financing systems, and strengthened regulations for complementary traditional medicine. Common barriers include inter-professional power imbalances, limited scientific literacy, and restricted access to formal training.

Conclusion: Integrating wellness services and complementary traditional medicine requires a cross-sectoral approach that considers social, political, and professional aspects. This review makes a significant contribution to formulating evidence-based, sustainable, and responsive integrative health policies that meet the needs of modern healthcare systems.
