摘要

The integration of complementary and traditional therapy (CTT) with personalised medicine is emerging as a transformative approach to healthcare across Asian countries. This conceptual article examines how this integration is shaping the future of healthcare in the region, highlighting its potential to address diverse health challenges, enhance patient-centred care, and drive medical innovation. This discussion explores the cultural contexts and definitions of CTT, emphasising its deep-rooted practices across Asia. It highlights integration as a strategy to align with spiritual beliefs and increase acceptance while addressing modern healthcare demands. However, challenges such as regulatory frameworks, safety, efficacy, standardisation, and economic disparities affecting access and adoption are acknowledged. The article underscores the importance of rigorous scientific validation, comprehensive policies, and improved infrastructure to support the integration of CTT with personalised medicine. Future directions include leveraging technology, AI, and big data to strengthen evidence-based practices, enhance credibility, and ensure quality. Advancing research, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and addressing safety concerns are central to achieving holistic care. Integrating CTT with personalised medicine offers the potential to transform healthcare delivery by improving patient outcomes and promoting holistic well-being. Collaboration among medical practitioners, complementary therapists, and traditional healers is essential for creating a more inclusive, effective, and patient-centred healthcare system.
