This article on models of integrative medicine (IM) for health care in contemporary society aims to address the various factors that could contribute more effectively to address goal # 3 (“Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”) of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda. Keywords: Transdisciplinary in Health Care; The goal # 3 of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda; Methods of diagnosis and treatment in traditional and conventional medicine; A model of integrative medicine (IM) Abbreviations: IM: Integrative Medicine; SDG: Sustainable Development Goals; UN: United Nations; NCCIH: National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health; NHS: National Health System Short Communication Transdisciplinary in health care aims to cure the patient in an integrated way, as well as maximize the human and financial resources needed for medical practice. In this sense, some research on models on IM for health care [1] has been proposed to contribute more effectively to goal #3 (“Ensure healthy lives and promote well- being for all ages”) of SDG of UN 2030 Agenda [2]. In this regard, it should be stated that the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) argues that integrative medicine is much more than the sum of Western medicine and Eastern medicine [3] because it aims to cure the patient´s physical-mind-soul in a holistic way [4], as described in the Figure 1. The history of medicine has had various models for healing the patient over time [5]. Recently, in Western tradition through the doctors David Einsenberg, Andrew Weil followed by Helene Langevin, Paulo de Lima and, in Eastern tradition, through the physicians Ram Vishwakarma, Chen Keji, Tadashi Yano, some IM models has been developed [6]. For example, based on its ancestral holistic medical experience [7], the Indian Government [8] has launched an integrated system of traditional medicine [9] - which include Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy (abbreviated by AYUSH) - that complements the practice of conventional medicine [10]. For its part, the Mayo Clinic Program has shown the advantages of integrating conventional medicine with traditional Indian and Chinese medicine practices [11]. Methods In this article on models in IM for health care in contemporary society, it was chosen the 40 main books and articles that from the researcher´s point of view of this article could give the reader a global perspective on this subject, but maintaining scientific rigor on this topic. Results and Discussion The results and discussion of this research work on models in IM for health care in contemporary society that could be applied to goal #3 of SDG of UN2030 Agenda will be described below.
