Intellectual property rights, benefit-sharing and development of “improved traditional medicines: A new approach
Revitalization and Development of Karen Traditional Medicine for Sustainable Refugee Health Services at the Thai-Burma Border
The Burmese regime's protracted violent conflict with its ethnic minorities has resulted in 2 million migrants and refugees settling across the border in Thailand.

Institutional heterogeneity in globalization: Co-development of western-allopathic medicine and traditional-alternative medicine

First, it is found that the global scene of medical institutio…

Traditional Medicine Use and Healthworker Training in a Refugee Setting at the Thai-Burma Border
More than one million Burmese refugees and forced migrants live in Thailand. Though Western clinical care is the first choice for acute health problems experienced during the forced migration process, our research indicates that traditional medicine continues to be preferred and valued for many common health conditions, as well as for health service training and delivery. Our programme and research on the Thai–Burma border, conducted between 2001…

A Public Health Agenda for Traditional, Complementary, and Alternative Medicine
Traditional medicine (a term used here to denote the indigenous health traditions of the world) and complementary and alternative medicine (T/CAM) have, in the past 10 years, claimed an increasing share of the public’s awareness and the agenda of medical researchers. Studies have documented that about half the population of many industrialized countries now use T/CAM, and the proportion is as high as 80% in many developing countries. Most researc…
