Since 2008, Uruguay's National Integrated Health System has ensured universal and free access to healthcare services for all citizens, residents, and foreigners. The legal foundation for traditional medicine began in 2001 with the regulation of acupuncture as a medical technique, followed by the creation of the Advisory Commission on Traditional Medicine within the Ministry of Public Health in 2004. In 2009, homeopathy was regulated, along with the approval of a broader framework for homeopathic medicines, medicinal herbs, and phytotherapeutics. Currently, acupuncture and homeopathy are officially included in the catalog of services offered by both public and private healthcare providers (3 public and 5 private institutions). While Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are also practiced, they are limited to the private sector due to training constraints. Importantly, only licensed Medical Doctors, Dentists, and Veterinarians (for veterinary purposes) are legally permitted to practice acupuncture and homeopathy. Uruguay has also engaged in international cooperation with China through the AUCI and the Ministry of International Affairs, enabling training in TCM through university exchanges and virtual programs.
