International Symposium on Tibetan Medicine Opens



A three-day international symposium on Tibetan medicine started in Lhasa Saturday, attracting more than 600 domestic and overseas experts.
  Topics on the symposium range from the history of Tibetan medicine, its theory and practices, and ways to integrate modern medicine with Tibetan medicine.
  Tibetan medicine has developed over a long period of time by the Tibetan people, absorbing the strong points of traditional Chinese medicine and ancient Indian and Arabic medicines.
  There are now 57 Tibetan medicine hospitals and three research institutes for Tibetan medicine in China. Colleges offering studies in Tibetan medicine have been built in Tibet, while medical universities in Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces also feature departments of Tibetan medicine or offer specialties in the subject.
  In his keynote speech, Zhu Guoben, head of the China Ethnic Medicine Society, said Tibetan Medicine holds a unique position of academic and cultural significance among the world's traditional medicines.
  Li Zhenji, deputy director of State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said in a message of congratulations that Tibetan medicine has been drawing the attention of more and more people and is providing a growing number of patients with safe medical treatment.
  The symposium, the first of its kind, is jointly sponsored by the China Ethnic Medicine Society, the Public Health Bureau of Tibet Autonomous Region and the Tibet College of Tibetan Medicine.
  It received more than 500 academic papers, of which 249 have been included in a specially-compiled collection.
