Vision
CHAT, promoting Health for ALL envisions an equitable and just society where people’s health is in people’s hand. CHAT moves beyond from being a network of individual practitioners to promoting networks, advocating and lobbying for the broader determinants of health.
Mission
CHAT commits itself to a society where the institution of the family is empowered to contribute to total care of each individual in the family, where people are aware of all aspects and dimensions of health and where there is no commercialization of medicine and alternative forms of medicine play their rightful role.
Our Objectives
