Chairman at the Two Sessions | Li Zhenguo: Strengthening the nation starts with revitalizing Traditional Chinese Medicine!
2020-05-28
Traditional Chinese medicine culture is the culmination of the Chinese nation's millennia-old health and wellness philosophies, along with its extensive medical practice experience. It embodies profound philosophical wisdom and stands as a treasured gem of ancient Chinese science.
Currently, the inheritance, innovation, and development of traditional Chinese medicine have been elevated to a national strategy. Particularly during the recent fight against the pandemic, as evidenced by the multiple versions of clinical treatment guidelines released by the state, TCM and its herbal remedies have demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in boosting the body's immune system, alleviating fever symptoms, controlling disease progression, and reducing complications—thus playing a positive and vital role in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
To this end, Li Zhenguo, a deputy to the National People's Congress and Chairman of Jiuzhitang Co., Ltd., proposed at the Two Sessions a suggestion to fully revitalize Traditional Chinese Medicine!
Strengthening the nation starts with revitalizing Traditional Chinese Medicine!
In an interview with China Pharmaceutical News and China Food & Drug Network, Li Zhenguo emphasized the importance of continuously fostering confidence in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) culture, preserving and revitalizing TCM traditions. He also highlighted how promoting TCM culture can help Chinese people adopt healthier lifestyles and habits, while equipping them with essential health awareness and knowledge—needs that have become increasingly critical as society evolves.
Here, Li Zhenguo suggested leveraging the tangible platform of cultural education in primary and secondary schools to promote China's outstanding traditional culture, uphold the Chinese spirit, and convey the values of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Strengthen public education on traditional Chinese medicine knowledge through engaging, widely participatory formats that resonate with people, fostering a social and cultural environment that honors the legacy of TCM.
Accelerate the integration of technological advancements such as the internet, big data, and artificial intelligence into the traditional Chinese medicine industry. Simultaneously, expedite the development of internet-based hospitals to enable remote TCM consultations and treatments, thereby addressing the healthcare needs of specific populations during unique periods and ensuring that more people can access high-quality TCM resources.
Meanwhile, leveraging big data can enhance the efficiency and accuracy of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment, elevate the overall development level of the TCM industry, and drive high-quality growth in the sector—ultimately meeting the widespread demand for superior healthcare services.
The sustainable development and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine require efforts on multiple fronts. Representative Li Zhenguo suggests steadily promoting the development of compound Chinese medicinal preparations derived from time-honored classic prescriptions, strengthening medical insurance policies that support TCM, and gradually expanding the scope of reimbursement for TCM diagnostic and treatment services, Chinese herbal medicines, and proprietary Chinese medicine formulations produced by medical institutions.
Promoting the integration of traditional medicine with precision medicine
According to Representative Li Zhenguo, traditional medicine and precision medicine share common ground—after all, the core principles of TCM, such as "treating the same disease with different approaches," "treating different diseases with the same approach," and "diagnosing and treating based on syndrome differentiation," essentially embody the essence of precision medicine. The nation is encouraging traditional medicine and precision medicine to leverage their respective strengths, fostering a dynamic synergy between the two fields. Medical institutions are being urged to embrace new technologies and innovative models to jointly apply traditional and precision medicine, thereby enhancing China's capacity to effectively treat critical illnesses.
It is recommended to establish the right direction, fostering an effective integration of traditional medicine with precision medicine to strengthen the nation's health and safety defenses. Staying at the forefront of global advancements, we should accelerate the high-quality development of precision medicine.
Comprehensive protection for public health!
Speaking about his feelings after attending this year's Two Sessions, Representative Li Zhenguo said that this year's Government Work Report was detailed, inspiring, and motivating. Premier Li Keqiang clearly outlined in the report "Promoting the Revitalization and Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine" , highlighting the vital role of traditional Chinese medicine in people's livelihoods and clearly guiding our work this year. As practitioners of TCM, we are deeply encouraged and equally inspired.
As a pharmaceutical company, in the next phase, Jiuzhitang will closely focus on the evolving health needs of the nation, taking the people’s demands as its mission. We will leverage our strengths in the traditional Chinese medicine industry and culture to enhance our TCM service capabilities and strengthen the development of TCM talent. At the same time, we will integrate cutting-edge modern technologies to foster the convergence of traditional medicine with precision medicine, explore innovative ways to combine TCM-based health care and internet technologies, and accelerate the inheritance, innovation, and development of the TCM sector—ultimately safeguarding public health in every possible way.
