Call to strengthen TCM management
Print Edition
A DRAFT law calling for stronger management of the traditional Chinese medicine industry was submitted to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee yesterday.
It calls for pharmaceutical companies and TCM dealers to keep records of purchases, and stresses stricter management of farms used for TCM herb cultivation, better environmental protection for herb-growing regions, enhanced safety during processing and improved research into TCM theories and techniques.
The draft, in its second reading, also contains a general principle stipulating that China supports TCM studies, encourages innovation in TCM and promotes the application of such skills.
Among items in a newly-added chapter is one stating that China should encourage medical institutions, universities and pharmaceutical enterprises to study and research TCM.
China should support the organization and application of ancient TCM literature, theories and the experience of renowned TCM practitioners as well as folk TCM skills, it says.
The new chapter also stipulates that China should establish and improve systems of appraisal, management and innovation of techniques based on TCM characteristics.
Research on projects crucial to TCM’s development, such as TCM for the prevention and treatment of major diseases, should be strengthened, according to the draft.
The draft streamlines approval procedures for producing TCM formulations to promote TCM development and use.
Governments should integrate TCM development into their plans for national economic and social development, and incorporate necessary funds into local fiscal budgets, the draft says.
It also urges the country to better protect TCM through databases and catalogues of TCM knowledge.
