Statement: Plans of Establishing “the Complementary Medicine Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran” and “Islamic-Iranian Medicine Organization”

Traditional medicine should be integrated in the health system by the unique stewardship. Abuse of traditional medicine and misdiagnosis and wrong treatment of diseases seriously threaten the health of society. Although this issue has been reported to senior policy makers in the correspondence of the Academy of Medical Sciences but preventing the spread of this danger requires serious determination. In the first section of  the report a selection of related legal and upstream documents are mentioned and then  plans to form a new Islamic-Iranian medicine organization or parallel health system are criticized separately.
