China plans to enhance the capacity and role of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) by building more TCM rehabilitation centres. The new plan by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and other authorities says that each provincial-level region of the country will have one tertiary rehabilitation hospital featuring TCM by 2025.
A batch of TCM rehabilitation centres will also be established to support talent cultivation and clinical research.
85% of tertiary TCM hospitals and 70% of second-tier TCM hospitals in China will set up rehabilitation departments by 2025, according to the plan.
The plan also calls on other capable medical institutions to apply TCM to their rehabilitation services.
The presence of rehab clinics will make it easier for overseas medical tourists to have TCM treatment and then recuperate nearby before going home.
