L'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) a adopté une stratégie mondiale, appellant à des investissements accrus dans la recherche et l'intégration des pratiques médicales anciennes dans les systèmes de santé modernes.
L'OMS voitdans la « Global traditional medicine strategy 2025 - 2034 » une nouvelle voie potentielle pour les systèmes de santé, qui s'éloigne d'une concentration étroite sur le diagnostic et le traitement des maladies et utilise au contraire tous les remèdes et méthodes disponibles pour la santé et le bien-être ». La médecine traditionnelle et complémentaire trouve de plus en plus sa place aux côtés des soins conventionnels, non pas en tant qu'alternative, mais en tant que partenaire dans la guérison », déclare le Dr Tido von Schoen-Angerer, pédiatre genevois et président de la Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Healthcare Coalition (TCIH), dans un article publié sur son site web.

We are an EWE - MEDJI polytechnic center for technical and professional training teaching of endogenous knowledge traditional medicine and traditional cultural expressions associated with plants based in Benin.
We would like to respectfully draw your attention to a pressing healthcare and educational need in Benin. According to the World Health Organization's 2002 report, over 80% of the Beninese population relies on traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine as their primary source of healthcare.
Despite this reliance, most traditional health practitioners continue to operate without access to structured technical and vocational training. Additionally, many young people—graduates, school dropouts, and adolescents—who aspire to study disciplines such as phytotherapy, naturopathy, nutritherapy, homeopathy, and traditional medicine lack access to formal education or professional training programs in these fields.
To address this gap, we have established the EWE–MEDJI Polytechnic Center, the first technical and professional training institution in Benin—and indeed in French-speaking West Africa—dedicated to the development of skills in traditional medicine, indigenous knowledge systems, and cultural practices linked to medicinal plants.
We are now seeking your esteemed institution’s support to build modern educational and residential facilities, including fully equipped laboratories to enable hands-on training and research in traditional medicine. This infrastructure is crucial to:
Empower the next generation of practitioners and researchers;
Strengthen the integration of indigenous knowledge into public health systems;
Reduce youth unemployment, rural exodus, and irregular migration;
Improve access to affordable and culturally rooted healthcare for vulnerable communities; and
Contribute to the achievement of Universal Health Coverage in Africa.
We would be honored to partner with your organization to make this vision a reality and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to provide more detailed information or submit a formal project proposal at your convenience.
Hoping to hear from you soon and to see you again very soon please accept Madam, Sir my distinguished greetings.
