Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, who chaired the Cabinet meeting held at Qasr Al Watan in Abu Dhabi, said: "The Council's mandate is to recognise alternative disciplines, develop treatment protocols that complement modern medicine, raise awareness, establish national guidelines and build new capacities and specialisations in this field."
The UAE Council for Integrative Medicine will be chaired by Sheikha Salama bint Tahnoon bin Mohammed Al Nahyan, who will lead an evidence-based framework "to deliver personalised and holistic healthcare."
