A Dose of Medical News #2.7 - Traditional Medicine Practitioner to Learn from Chinese Masters

IPOH: The Health Ministry’s traditional and complementary medicine (TCM) division has started a programme to facilitate technology transfer from professional practitioners in China.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said local traditional Chinese medicine practitioners would be attached to the Chinese practitioners for three months through the programme to learn from them.

He said currently three oncologists from China have been recruited and each would have three local TCM practitioners under his wing.

“The programme, which started recently, includes hands-on lectures and observations on theories and practices using herbs as adjunct treatment for cancer patients,” said Liow at the opening of the Tongren private medical centre here Sunday.

He said the programme was meant to help build the foundation for all local TCM practitioners in the future.

From the Star this morning. To give them credit, Tong Ren Healing System has been studied by Harvard Medical School Professor (...... of Psychiatry). Game on!
