The Philippine Institute of
Traditional and Alternative Health Care
(PITAHC) was a special program of government organized to promote and advocate
traditional medicine natonwide. It was organized in 1992, by the Department of
Health (DOH), through the former Health Secretary and incumbent Senator Juan
Flavier, by the virtue of Administrative Order No. 12. In order to
institutionalize the program, the drafting of a traditional medicine law
started in 1994. Then in 1997, President Fidel V. Ramos, appreciating the
potential of traditional medicine in our health and economy, included this as
one of his administration's pole-vaulting strategies.
