Integrative Medicine – leveraging traditional systems of medicine: Dr Krishna Reddy

Kolkata, Jun 22 (UNI) One of the core purposes of medicine is to relieve suffering. Medicine has been evolving over millennia to serve this purpose across the world. Some of the oldest systems of medicine continue to thrive across the world.
While traditional systems evolved through experiential wisdom, faith and belief, modern systems evolved through reason, analysis, and experimental evidence. Patient health seeking behavior is influenced by prevailing culture, beliefs, prior experience, peer reference, ease of access, and the cost says Dr Krishna Reddy Nallamalla, President, InOrder & Country Director, ACCESS Health International.
Advances in modern medicine have significantly improved health status of populations. Despite these advances people continue to suffer from unrelieved chronic pains, unexplained physical symptoms, and growing burden of life long non-communicable diseases and mental illnesses. Costs of modern healthcare have been growing faster than economic growth across the world accounting for impoverishment and inequity.
