A comprehensive report into the effectiveness, use, safety and cost effectiveness of homeopathy is now available in English.  ‘Homeopathy in Healthcare’ presents the results of the first multi-disciplinary review (Health Technology Assessment) into homeopathy; it concludes that ‘there is sufficient evidence for the … clinical efficacy of homeopathy and for its safety and economy compared to conventional treatment.’

First carried out as part of the Swiss Programme for the Evaluation of Complementary Medicine (PEK) in 2005, this report has until now only been available to the German speaking public. The unique approach of this report is its emphasis on external evidence into the effectiveness of homeopathy, as well as on more traditional types of scientific studies, such as randomised controlled trials, meta-analyses or systematic reviews.

ECHAMP hopes that the report will provide a much needed bridge for homeopathy between the world of research and the world of decision making. This new translation will make the results in favour of homeopathy more accessible to a wider range of European and national health policy makers.
