  • Preface

  • The World Health Congresses, organized by the Institute for TCIM/CAM under the auspices of the Capital City of Prague, rank among the most significant events in the field of TCIM not only in the Czech Republic, but their impact has been steadily growing on the international stage with each successive year.

    The tradition of these congresses began in 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was not possible to hold an in-person meeting in Prague, and the inaugural congress took place online on June 20, 2020 [1]. The second congress was held in 2021, already in person in Prague [2], as was the third edition two years later [3]. The most recent event was the 4th World Health Congress 2025 Prague, held on October 3–5, 2025, once again under the auspices of the Capital City of Prague and several members of the Parliament of the Czech Republic. The congress had a global impact on both the professional and general public.

    The congress featured presentations from a wide range of TCIM disciplines as well as conventional medicine, with participants from 50 countries across all continents. It followed the motto: “Health knows no boundaries – let us seek what unites us – it is time to start cooperating.” This vision was fully realized through the high standard of contributions across diverse fields of TCIM and conventional medicine. Representatives of prominent organizations, research centers, and universities were also in attendance.

    The ceremonial opening evening of the congress received exceptional recognition from His Excellency Shri Raveesh Kumar, Ambassador of the Republic of India to the Czech Republic, to whom we would like to express our special thanks for his participation.

    As with previous editions, this congress concludes with proceedings containing all contributions, which you now hold in your hands. Through this publication, we aim to further strengthen cooperation across TCIM and conventional medicine, with a shared interest in exchanging knowledge and creating space for its application in healthcare interventions.
