Mission

To define, to construct and reinforce the structure of Apitherapy as Natural Medicine and to promote the knowledge and the recognition of beehive products to the medical, paramedical world and to the general public in order to secure alternative food sources, to ensure a safe and healthy nutrition and a complementary health care system, in line with the World Health Organization Strategy of promoting traditional and complementary medicines (CAM) all over the world.

Goals

1. To define the legitimate place of api-therapy (legislation, medical practice, medical education, scientific substantiation) among natural therapies (traditional, complementary and alternative medicines – TCAM);
2. To set up quality and safety standards/criteria, for beehive products with medicinal destination;
3. To create recognized treatment indications and clinical protocols allowing comparison of treatments for efficacy and safety and thus to map the relation of apitherapy to classical medicine and to define its therapeutical limits.
4. To assist in developing a natural Api-pharmacopoeia working together with FAO for SDGs
5. To adapt treatment possibilities harmonising various countries' resources with their medicinal needs, thereby increasing their autonomy from industrial medicine as well as creating new categories of work as well as opportunities for work.
