The World Health Organization (WHO) has released its latest technical and strategic guidelines for the development, regulation, and integration of traditional and herbal medicines into national health systems.
WHO Updates Global Guidelines on Traditional and Herbal Medicines
According to WHO, these guidelines are designed to help member states adopt a scientific approach to traditional medicine, aligning with international regulatory frameworks. They also aim to facilitate the export of herbal products and harmonize regulatory procedures—particularly for countries with a rich heritage in traditional medicine.
Health experts in Iran have welcomed the update as a positive step toward the internationalization of herbal products. At Padideh Giah, we are aligning our consulting services, regulatory documentation, and product export strategies with WHO’s updated framework to enhance global market access for Iranian herbal innovations.
Adapting to international standards such as WHO guidelines is becoming a strategic necessity for producers, innovators, and exporters in the field of herbal and traditional medicine.
