Currently, the whole world's health-care system is based on the allopathic medical and surgical systems. This allopathic system's current status was not achieved overnight. It took hundreds of years for it to develop. Many medical systems existed in the past that cured people all over the world. Although many systems emerged and evolved in limited geographical areas to serve people, we cannot overlook the contributions of many former civilizations' regional systems to the development of the current and modern allopathic medical and surgical systems. This article aims to illustrate the numerous stumbling blocks in the development of the current system. It will also highlight the contributions of many different disease cure and preventive methods from throughout the world. This chapter's main goal is to highlight key milestones in the formation of the current health-care system, as well as contributions from various civilizations. Because they are more accessible and popular locally, ancient systems of therapy from all over the world can play a significant role as a supplementary system of treatment, lowering treatment costs and saving time. For example, the Indian government and the general public have recently recognised the function of AYUSH, or Ayurveda, Yoga, and Naturopathy, as well as Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa, and Homeopathy, as alternative medical systems. It is a part of the country's health-care delivery system. Ayurveda offers diet and nutrition plans to regenerate the body. Although India has a long history of health-care systems, it has never shied away from enlisting the help of medical systems from other countries and civilizations to improve the health of its citizens. We have recently made use of Chinese medicinal knowledge, such as acupuncture and acupressure, as well as Greek medicine.
