Nature as Medicine: Ancient Nature, New Medicine

Leo Pruimboom traditionally closes the conference as the voice that brings together all the day’s insights and places them in a broader context.

However, current healthcare systems are increasingly struggling to cope with this burden.

74%

Three-quarters of global deaths are due to chronic and non-communicable diseases.

(WHO, GBD 2021)

43M

The number of people who died in 2021 solely due to chronic diseases.

(Excluding deaths caused by the pandemic.) (WHO)

47T $

The expected cost of chronic diseases to the global economy by 2030.

(Mayo Clinic Proc., 2024)

Growing Market

Nature-Based Health

197M $

The size of the global complementary and alternative medicine market in 2025.

(Precedence Research, 2025)

1.283M $

The market size is expected to reach by 2034 — approximately 6.5 times growth.

(Precedence Research)

%32.5

Europe's share in the global CAM market is regional leadership.

(IMARC Group, 2024)

Türkiye, with its location between East and West, is a strong market poised to be at the center of this transformation.

Why Türkiye?

Legal Basis: GETAT

  • The Turkish Ministry of Health legalized 15 complementary medicine practices by enacting the Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Regulation on October 27, 2014. Türkiye’s 12th Development Plan (2024–2028) commits to standardizing and expanding CAM practices based on evidence.
  • Many universities, including Hacettepe, Ege, Medipol, and Bezmialem, have established Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) application and training centers; this field continues to gain academic legitimacy.

Why this Congress?

A Bridge Between Brand and Academia

cPNI is a discipline with its own certification and academic background. The international network and scientific credibility of the congress speakers directly enhance the prestige of sponsors’ products and services. Participating in this congress will reach an audience that filters your brand through scientific significance, not market noise.

International Visibility and Market Access

Treatment-focused approaches alone are not sustainable; preventive health and healthy aging models need to be strengthened in a scalable way.

To Be a Pioneer

This congress is the first international cPNI event held in Türkiye. As the first brand to enter, you will have the advantage of building category leadership.

Low Noise, High Focus

Unlike large, crowded trade shows, this convention is designed for a specialized professional audience. Your message won’t be scattered; it will reach its target audience directly.

"Ancient seas and forests are more than just landscapes. With their colors, scents, tastes, sounds, and rhythms, they shape our biology from within. Modern life doesn't have to be a source of toxic stimuli — it can become a backdrop for healing experiences."
