WHO has identified four (4) types of health system structures in relation to T&CM
- TOLERANT Health System
- INCLUSIVE Health System
- INTEGRATIVE Health System
- PARALLEL Health System

conventional medicine and T&CM are not officially recognized (Canada, UK,
other African countries)

recognizes T&CM but has not
incorporated into all aspects of health care (Philippines, and other Southeast Asian countries)
INCLUSIVE Health System
T&CM is officially recognized and
incorporated into all areas of health care provision (China, Korea and Vietnam)
INTEGRATIVE Health System
T&CM are widely used, more than 50% of the population access these services and regulation are totally separate for allopathic medicine and T&CM modalities (India)
