How about opening an individual Chinese medicine clinic?

According to the report of "China Business News" on June 2 1, this time, the spring of TCM clinics has come. You can open a Chinese medicine clinic as long as you file it, and you must have a doctor's qualification certificate to open a clinic. If not, you can also have the qualification certificate of Chinese medicine specialist.

The above information comes from the Interim Measures for the Registration Management of Chinese Medicine Clinics (Draft for Comment) and the Interim Measures for the Examination and Registration Management of Doctors with Chinese Medicine Speciality (Draft for Comment) published by the National Health and Family Planning Commission on June 20th.

"In terms of document requirements, it is to cut off the administrative licensing link; It is still standardized in terms of the prescribed scope of the clinic and the qualifications of the people who open the clinic, but the core issue is post-event supervision, especially how to avoid medical accidents, and supervision must keep up. " Lin Ruichao, Dean of College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, told CBN.

This is really a great news, and the whole Chinese medicine community cheers.

I remember to accompany my mother to see Chinese medicine in March this year. The car turned in front of a residential building for a long time. Only when I entered the door did I see an 80-year-old grandfather, who was the old Chinese doctor we were looking for that day. Before, my father was optimistic about his stubborn hamstring after hearing several drugs introduced by others. His medical skill is quite good, and he is here today. But now it seems that there are not many patients who come here to get medicine. I chatted with him in the pharmacy. It turns out that he is a tutor. As a child, he learned to write and recite medical books and prescriptions while doing things. He probably only has a junior high school education. In addition to Chinese medicine skills, he must have a "doctor qualification certificate" to open a clinic. This exam is very difficult, and many people may fail. This also embarrassed him. Although he has 60 years of experience in seeing a doctor, he can only be busy at home and can't open a clinic. In this way, our national treasure of Chinese medicine was buried. Now that a good policy has come, although he will no longer want to open a clinic because of his old age and declining energy, he must be happy in his heart, because this policy can improve the crisis that Chinese medicine practitioners who really learn from teachers or have real expertise after years of practice are buried.

These two documents will be published soon. In the future, both doctors in large hospitals and private Chinese medicine practitioners will practice medicine legally. Whether we can change the status quo of the Chinese medicine industry that has been criticized for a long time depends on the effect of the policy.
