It recognises that the shared traditional pharmacopoeias of BRICS Member Countries can serve as a foundation for developing safe, effective and affordable therapeutic products.
The emphasis on coordinated research assumes particular significance for countries across the BRICS grouping, where traditional systems of medicine have evolved over generations and medicinal plants and herbal preparations form an important component of healthcare traditions.
Greater cooperation can facilitate research, documentation, knowledge exchange and evidence generation while supporting the responsible development of therapeutic products. India’s BRICS Chairship advances structured cooperation in traditional medicine
The development follows the BRICS Meeting on Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine held in Chandigarh on July 21, 2026, under India’s BRICS Chairship.
The meeting brought together senior government officials, technical experts and delegates from BRICS Member States and advanced cooperation in research, education, knowledge exchange and regulatory frameworks related to TCIM.
The meeting also resulted in consensus on the Terms of Reference for the proposed BRICS Expert Working Group on TCIM.
The proposed BRICS Expert Working Group provides an opportunity to further institutionalise this cooperation and facilitate sustained engagement among research institutions, experts, policymakers and academic institutions across BRICS countries.
For India, the development is particularly significant as it reinforces the country’s efforts to advance Ayurveda and other Ayush systems through research, evidence generation, quality assurance and international cooperation.
India has consistently emphasised the importance of scientific evidence, safety, efficacy and appropriate standards while promoting the responsible integration of traditional medicine into healthcare.
