Tu Youyou invented artemisinin. What contribution has Chinese medicine made to people all over the world?

As we all know, malaria is a disease that threatens human life for a long time. Millions of people die of malaria every year, but we have no particularly good treatment for malaria, especially in some places with difficult conditions and poor sanitation. Preventing and controlling malaria is a particularly important matter.

Artemisinin invented by Tu Youyou has achieved remarkable results in the treatment of malaria, which has been recognized by the medical system and made outstanding contributions to the treatment and prevention of malaria. Even though we may use artemisinin, it is not impossible to completely eradicate malaria.

Artemisinin is an inspiration based on traditional medicine, and Tu Youyou has finally extracted something magical like artemisinin through hard struggle and years of efforts, so that we humans can use artemisinin to treat malaria that threatens human life. This is of great significance.

Our traditional medicine has a history of thousands of years in China. In the past, when medical conditions were underdeveloped, the ancients in China used Chinese medicine to see a doctor, saving countless lives. So Chinese medicine does have a certain effect. Today, our understanding of the medical system has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Traditional medicine also needs to be reformed and upgraded on the basis of modern medical system. If you blindly guard the things of your ancestors without reform, you will fall behind and be beaten. So now many people are saying that it is very important for us to promote the reform of traditional medicine and verify it on the basis of modern medicine and modern science.
