World Homoeopathy Day,

Council aims to organise international conferences periodically, in order to assure a wider reach of its research outcomes, as well as to network with the world’s who’s who in Homoeopathy. World Homoeopathy Day Convention of 2016 was planned on international level, in which around 200 out of 1500 delegates were foreigners. Similarly, the first World Integrated Medicine Forum (WIMF) on the regulation of homeopathic medicinal products: National and Global Strategies, organised by Council on 23-24 February 2017, attracted 50 (out of 150) overseas delegates.

WIMF was an exceptionally successful event, where the drug regulators and industrialists from the homeopathy drug sector could directly interact with each other and with WHO representatives, and contemplate on the ways of harmonisation of pharmacopeias and overcoming hurdles in export/import/manufacture of homoeopathic medicines in various countries. Regulation and quality assurance of drugs was also adequately discussed.
