传统医学是指将植物、动物和矿物药物、精神疗法、手工技术和练习单独或结合起来用于治疗、诊断和预防疾病或维持健康的保健做法、方法、知识和信仰。在过去十年中，传统医学在喀麦隆非常受欢迎，部分原因是该国长期不可持续的经济状况。药物的高成本和对疟疾、细菌感染和其他性传播疾病等常见疾病的耐药性的增加，导致替代传统医学的治疗方法成为协同寻找新化学实体的一种选择。世界卫生组织（世卫组织）与喀麦隆政府合作，为喀麦隆TM的实践和发展建立了一个战略平台。该平台旨在协调该国的传统医学实践，在传统医学和现代医学之间建立协同作用，并在2012年之前在喀麦隆将更加协调的综合传统医学实践制度化。讨论了支持可持续减贫作用的过去、现在和未来的TM实践概况。本研究深入了解了喀麦隆政府为TM实践和发展的组织框架和研究平台制定的战略计划和路线图，以及涉及该国TM管理的全球伙伴关系。
Traditional medicine refers to health practices, approaches, knowledge and beliefs incorporating plant, animal and mineral based medicines, spiritual therapies, manual techniques and exercises, applied singularly or in combination to treat, diagnose and prevent illnesses or maintain well-being. In the last decade traditional medicine has become very popular in Cameroon, partly due to the long unsustainable economic situation in the country. The high cost of drugs and increase in drug resistance to common diseases like malaria, bacteria infections and other sexually transmitted diseases has caused the therapeutic approach to alternative traditional medicine as an option for concerted search for new chemical entities (NCE). The World Health Organisation (WHO) in collaboration with the Cameroon Government has put in place a strategic platform for the practice and development of TM in Cameroon. This platform aims at harmonizing the traditional medicine practice in the country, create a synergy between TM and modern medicine and to institutionalize a more harmonized integrated TM practices by the year 2012 in Cameroon. An overview of the practice of TM past, present and future perspectives that underpins the role in sustainable poverty alleviation has been discussed. This study gives an insight into the strategic plan and road map set up by the Government of Cameroon for the organisational framework and research platform for the practice and development of TM, and the global partnership involving the management of TM in the country.
