Hi all,

China will expand its national
campaign to promote traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) across the country, according to an announcement by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine today.
Running from April to October, the campaign will visit Jinan, capital city of China's northern Shandong Province, on April 12, and then move on to another 14 provinces and cities including Anhui, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Gaungxi, Hunan, Gansu, Jiangsu, as well as the Macau
Special Administrative Region.
Highlights of the campaign include free consultations by TCM practitioners and TCM related training for doctors in rural practices, hospitals and community health centers (CHCs), as well as organizing TCM forums with relevant experts and professors. In addition, local health authorities are encouraged to make initiatives to carry out the program based on local issues and circumstances.
In addition to the 17 government departments that announced their participation last year, organizing committee members of the promotion this year will also include the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Culture, Ministry of
Railways, and the General Administration of Civil Aviation.
The promotion program started in July last year, and has already been carried out in eight regions across the country. The stated aim of the program is to promote TCMs and educate the public, and will provisionally last from 2007 to 2010.
The promotion program has helped to popularize the use of TCMs, both in hospitals and CHCs across the country. This is the largest-scale TCM promotion program in China's history, according to the announcement.
