Strengthening Primary Health Care

It has been estimated that over 80% of the world’s population depends on traditional healing systems as their primary source of care. Traditional Medicine consists of codified and non-codified streams of knowledge. The Foundation for Revitalization of Local Health Traditions (FRLHT), Bengaluru is currently operating a National Scheme along with the Quality Council of India (QCI) for the Assessment, Training and Certification of Traditional Community Health Practitioners based on a standards competency model aligned with ISO 29990 and ISO 17024 which looks at applying stringent rigors for the process of training and certifying TCHPs.
