What we ask
We urge the Public Health - European Commission to take immediate action to integrate Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) into the public healthcare systems of all EU member states. This essential step will ensure that every citizen has access to a comprehensive range of treatment options, promoting health equity and enhancing overall well-being across Europe.
Why is this important?
Integrating Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) with conventional medicine is crucial for several reasons. First and foremost, it addresses the diverse health needs of the European population, as many individuals seek already holistic approaches to their well-being. CAM has been shown to enhance health outcomes, offering additional options for those who may not find relief through conventional treatments alone.
Moreover, many individuals find CAM treatments prohibitively expensive, leaving them without the holistic care options they need. This financial barrier restricts access to very important therapies, further widening the gap in health equity across the region. With only Germany and Austria incorporating CAM into their public healthcare systems, citizens in other nations are deprived of essential treatment options. This inequity not only limits individual options but also undermines the fundamental right of all Europeans to receive comprehensive, effective healthcare assistance.
Furthermore, expanding CAM access and incorporating it into the Healthcare system can lead to better health outcomes, reduced healthcare costs in the long run, and a more resilient healthcare system. By advocating for CAM inclusion in public healthcare in the EU countries, we empower individuals to take charge of their health, ultimately fostering a healthier society. It is imperative that we rectify this situation to ensure that all EU state citizens have equal access to a full range of therapeutic options, promoting health equity and improving overall community well-being.
