Collaboration & Liaison

SIPM is committed to collaborative engagement with other standards bodies, regulatory agencies, research institutions, and organizations working to advance phytomedicine and plant-based healthcare worldwide.

Our Collaborative Approach

The development of effective phytomedicine standards requires input from diverse stakeholders and benefits from coordination with other organizations working in related fields. SIPM recognizes that our mission is best achieved through cooperation, not competition, with other entities sharing similar goals.

We are responsive to other standards bodies, regulatory agencies, academic institutions, and professional organizations that wish to work on phytomedicine standards or related areas. Our door is open to meaningful collaboration that advances the field and serves public health.
