Thailand’s Minister of Public Health, Pattana Promphat, described the selection as a testament to Thailand’s readiness to convene a global dialogue on traditional medicine and to the growing international recognition of Thailand’s traditional medicine system.

泰国公共卫生部长帕塔纳·蓬帕特表示，这一入选证明泰国已具备就传统医学议题发起全球对话的条件，也反映出国际社会对泰国传统医学体系的认可度持续提升。

“Being selected as host will not only elevate Thai traditional medical knowledge on the global stage but will also provide an important opportunity to drive the health economy and promote sustainable growth,” Pattana said.

The WHO Global Summit on Traditional Medicine is a biennial platform that brings together ministers of health, policymakers, researchers, practitioners and public health leaders to advance discussion on the role of traditional medicine in strengthening health systems. The forum focuses on evidence-based approaches, regulation, innovation, international cooperation and the integration of traditional medicine into national health-care services.

世界卫生组织传统医学全球峰会为两年一度的交流平台，汇聚各国卫生部长、政策制定者、科研人员、从业者与公共卫生领域决策者，围绕传统医学在完善医疗卫生体系中的作用展开研讨。论坛聚焦循证实践方法、监管规范、创新发展、国际协作，以及将传统医学纳入国家医疗卫生服务体系等议题。

The first WHO Global Summit in 2023 set an agenda that guided the development of the Global Traditional Medicine Strategy 2025–2034. The second Summit turned that strategy into action by launching the Traditional Medicine Global Library, which contains more than 1.6 million scientific records and continues to grow, and by securing time-bound commitments from 26 Member States and around 60 partner organizations.

2023年首届世界卫生组织传统医学全球峰会确定工作议程，为《2025-2034年全球传统医学战略》的编制提供指引。第二届峰会推动该战略落地实施，上线传统医学全球图书馆，馆藏科学文献记录超160万条并持续扩充；同时，还促成26个成员国及约60家合作组织作出限时履约承诺。

At the second WHO Global Summit on Traditional Medicine in 2025, held in New Delhi, India, participants from more than 107 countries attended, including 25 health ministers. The strong participation underscored growing interest among WHO Member States in traditional medicine and increasing demand for technical guidance and research support in the field.

The third Summit will review progress on the commitments, while highlighting the rollout of a global traditional medicine data network in 12 pathfinder countries and showcasing new initiatives demonstrating how traditional medicine can contribute to inclusive economic growth and sustainable development.

第三届峰会将对各项承诺的落实进展进行评估，重点介绍在全球12个先行试点国家搭建的全球传统医学数据网络，并展示各类新项目，彰显传统医学在促进包容性经济增长和可持续发展方面的积极作用。

“Traditional, complementary and integrative medicine serves as a vital source of health care for billions of people worldwide,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “The third Summit presents a unique opportunity to translate our collective commitments from the previous summits into transformative action by strengthening the evidence base, advancing supportive policies and fostering strategic partnerships. Together, we can ensure that traditional medicine is safe, equitable and sustainable, accelerating progress towards Health for All.”

世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞博士指出: “传统、补充与整合医学是全球数十亿人口重要的医疗保障来源。第三届峰会提供宝贵契机，可依托夯实证据基础、推进扶持性政策、培育战略伙伴关系，将前几届峰会达成的集体承诺转化为变革性行动。让我们携手保障传统医学安全、公平、可持续发展，加快推进全民健康目标。”

The 2027 Summit will serve as both a high-level policy forum and an evidence-informed conference with the latest scientific advances and country implementation experiences, enabling participants to exchange experiences on how traditional, complementary and integrative medicine can contribute to more people-centred and accessible health-care systems.

2027年峰会兼具高层政策论坛与循证学术会议属性，汇集前沿科研成果与各国实践经验，供与会各方交流探讨: 如何依托传统、补充与整合医学，构建更加以人为本、可及性更强的医疗卫生体系。

Thailand sees the 2027 summit as an opportunity to showcase practical approaches to integrating traditional medicine into mainstream health care while strengthening international cooperation. Officials say the event could help advance discussions on international standards, support greater acceptance of herbal products, and foster partnerships between governments, researchers and industry stakeholders.

泰国将2027年峰会视作重要机遇，一方面展示将传统医学融入主流医疗卫生体系的可行方案，另一方面深化国际合作。泰国相关官员表示，本次峰会有望推动国际标准研讨，提升草药产品认可度，并推动政府、科研机构与行业主体建立伙伴关系。

The 2027 Summit will provide an important milestone in advancing the implementation of the WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy 2025–2034 and strengthening global cooperation on the safe, effective and evidence-based use of traditional medicine.
