4th International Integrative Medicine Conference
&
Inaugural Asian Kratom Congress
12-13th August, 2023
I am delighted to observe the significant progress being made in promoting Integrative Medicine as a comprehensive approach to managing overall health and wellness.
The Inaugural Asian Kratom Congress, as part of the 4th International Integrative Medicine Conference, presents a golden opportunity for Malaysia to demonstrate its leadership in the field of Medical Kratom.
The Malaysian government is actively exploring the medicinal potential of kratom plants,
particularly in terms of controlled cultivation and production. With an estimated 230 million
users worldwide, the kratom industry has the potential to reach USD 16 billion by 2025. This
presents a transformative opportunity for Malaysian farmers in terms of their livelihood.
This conference will facilitate discussions on how to position the Kratom Industry
strategically, ensuring that Malaysia reaps the benefits of this cash crop. By bringing together global experts, it will also provide the Ministry of Plantation and Commodities with insights to position Malaysia as a global leader in this industry.
The principles of Integrative Medicine align well with the ‘Malaysia Madani’ concept,
which is founded on the six core values of sustainability, prosperity, innovation, respect, trust, and compassion. I firmly believe this conference serves as a perfect forum for mature
discussions, paving the way for effective actions that can contribute to our nation’s
prosperity.
The Association of Integrative Medicine Malaysia (AIMM) has consistently been at the
forefront of the latest developments, and I am pleased that we have the capability to host such intellectual discourse in establishing a solid evidence-based foundation for growth.
Finally, let me extend my congratulations to AIMM and the organizers of the Integrative Conferences for driving this initiative in showcasing Malaysia’s excellence and achievements on a global platform.
With this, it is with great pleasure that I declare the Inaugural Asian Kratom Congress and the 4th International Integrative Medicine Conference officially open.
There will be well renowned international and local speakers that will convey effective health solutions.
For Doctors and other medical professionals, scientists, industry stakeholders of both healthcare and wellness including members of the public will be present.
We expect 300 delegates with a similar mindset regarding health and wellness to participate and network.
When local and international experts get together to share new ideas and experiences, true changes are bound to happen.
