W.H.O.: Do not recognise traditional Chinese medicine!

  • by: Pranay k
  • recipient: World Health Organisation

The World Health Organization (WHO) will include traditional Chinese medicine in the revision of its influential International Classification of Diseases for the first time.
The move concerns wildlife scientists and conservationists who say the WHO's formal backing of traditional Chinese medicine could legitimize the hunting of wild animals for their parts, which are used in some remedies and treatments.
With many iconic animals such as rhinos, elephants, and tigers already on the brink of extinction, this is the last thing we need.
Please sign my petition urging the World Health Organisation to reverse their decision to recognise traditional Chinese medicine.
