A coalition of young doctors and medical researchers have written an open letter to the World Health Organization asking it to publicly condemn the use of pseudoscientific homeopathic remedies for the treatment of serious diseases, especially in the developing world:
The letter:
# Explains that medics working with the most rural and impoverished people of the world already struggle to deliver the medical help that is needed. The promotion of homeopathy for serious diseases puts lives at risk.
# Lists some of the examples of recent and planned developments of homeopathic clinics offering treatment for these five conditions.
# Asks the WHO to make clear that homeopathy cannot prevent or treat these five conditions.
Leading experts in malaria, HIV and other serious diseases affecting the developing world are supporting the young medics' and researchers' call for the WHO to take action.
Homeopathy urgently condemned for serious diseases
