USM has been accepted worldwide because of its easy availability, cheaper and relatively safer than other conventional medicine. World Health Organization (WHO) is the predominant agency that has direct impact on Global health care. USM has gained recognition from WHO in 1976. Global health is about understanding the causes and finding the means to provide solutions to the challenges and disparities in the health status of people worldwide. Ancient roots of USM are in China, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Syria, India and other Far East countries. Nowadays USM is the best alternative choice of health care globally both in developed and developing countries. USM is an emerging field worldwide because it cures those diseases in which modern system fails like Bars (vatiligo), Dau sadaf (psoriasis), Iltehab-e-kabid (Infective Hepatitis), Hasat-ul-kulya wa masana (Renal and Bladder calculus) etc. The focus of this paper is to highlight the role of USM in global health care and more emphasis has been given to strengthen the USM worldwide.
