From the Founder

Hello,

The Turkish Holistic and Integrative Medicine Association (THIMA) left four years behind it. In the meantime, the country has experienced exciting developments in this context. Most importantly, it can be shown that the “Regulation on Traditional and Complementary Medical Practices” has been published in the Official Gazette on October 29th, 2014 and numbered 29158.

The Law on the Establishment of the Turkish Institute of Health (TÜSEB) and the Amendment of Certain Laws and Decrees on the Decree of the Law was published in the Official Gazette on 11/26/2014 and legalized with the title of the “Institute of Traditional and Complementary Medical Applications of Turkey” was set up.

We hope to be more useful by integrating different disciplines with a holistic perspective.
