Initiative calls for pediatric units at TCM
Hospitals
All tertiary public traditional Chinese medicine hospitals and at least 80 percent of secondary-level public TCM hospitals in China will be required to establish pediatric departments by the end of November, an official at the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine said on Tuesday.
The nation follows a three-tier hospital structure, with tertiary hospitals at the highest level.
Ouyang Bo, deputy director of the administration's department of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine and ethnic group medicine, said that by the end of 2023, about 96 percent of tertiary TCM hospitals and 72 percent of secondary-level ones had already set up pediatric clinics.
