First Conference on Traditional Medicine and Indigenous Ancestral Knowledge

In 2023, the Amazonian Indigenous Embassy helped organise the first regional conference on traditional Amazonian medicine and ancestral knowledge, bringing together health and cultural institutions and indigenous peoples.

The meeting sought to strengthen intercultural dialogue between public healthcare and the ancestral healing worldview of Amazonian indigenous peoples.

It also aimed to improve healthcare provision for indigenous communities in the face of persistent problems such as discrimination, malnutrition and high rates of infectious diseases and infant mortality.
