Traditional Medicine in Canada

Hello delegates! As I'm sure you already know, those of you in the WHO will be discussing the issue of traditional medicine. As you research the topic, it's important to keep in mind that since you will be writing resolutions, you must start thinking of what your country would like to include in one.

To help you do this, you might want to check out the National Aboriginal Health Organization's paper on Traditional Medicine in Contemporary Contexts. The relationship of culture to traditional medicine seems particularly relevant. It is long, but looking at the table of contents can help you identify the pertinent parts. Although in the WHO you won't be focusing on Aboriginal traditional medicine in Canada, it might help you learn about the practical issues involved, as well give you ideas for resolutions.
