First International Conference On Holistic Health & Medicine

The First International conference on Holistic Health & Medicine was held on Dec 8, 1989 in Bengaluru (Bangalore) and was hosted by the Academy of Holistic Medicine.

The Conference was a congregation, for the first time, of eminent doctors and practitioners from many backgrounds and disciplines, both modern and traditional. Its major objective was the creation of an International Network of holistically orientated organizations in order to form one body which could represent Holistic Medicine throughout the world.

It was hoped that this international effort towards world health and peace would help us integrate our growing knowledge in the fields of health and illness and encourage a greater cooperation between health-care systems of different traditions.

Patrons of the Conference were HH the Dalai Lama, HG Dr. Paulose Mar Gregorios, Dr Karan Singh.
