Goal of the conference is to provide doctors and researchers with information and experience exchange opportunity.



According to some reasons, preventing information dissemination on traditional medicine is western or so called modern medicine. The main reason is the wrong idea about traditional medicine that major doctors have. "One of possible options to solve the problem is organization of periodical forum even on international level, to let doctors and researchers exchange information and experience," Head of TMU International Relations Department Ali Namavar told PanARMENIAN.Net



Relevance of traditional and modern medicine integration is stipulated: first, technological achievements in modern medicine lets more correctly diagnose diseases; second, with the help of traditional medicine patients may be treated cheaper and without drug side effects.



"It is not at secret that in major cases traditional medicine can totally substitute the western. So that is why sometimes traditional medicine is called alternative medicine," said Ali Namavar.
