India's traditional medical system is also considered to be very developed.

Research fields include basic medicine, clinical medicine, forensic medicine, laboratory medicine, preventive medicine, health care medicine and rehabilitation medicine.

Basic medicine includes: medical biomathematics, medical biochemistry, medical biophysics, human anatomy, medical cell biology, human physiology, human histology, human embryology, medical genetics, human immunology, medical parasitology and medical microbiology.

Differences between Chinese and Western Medicine

Chinese and western medicine use different ways of thinking to diagnose and treat diseases. The basic theory is systematic and has essential differences. The difference between Chinese and western medicine lies not only in whether there is an empirical scientific concept, but also in the difference between two cultural systems. Theoretically speaking, Chinese and western medicine are two medical systems that cannot be unified.

"Chinese style and western use" once became the guiding ideology of the school of integrated Chinese and western medicine. However, due to the different foundations of the two kinds of medicine, it is difficult to apply western medicine to Chinese medicine. Nearly a century's facts have proved that "the body judgment of Huitong medicine is divorced from the factual knowledge of Chinese and Western medicine, and the value knowledge replaces the factual knowledge, which determines the final result in vain". Therefore, Chinese and western medicine should coexist and prosper together, and do not insist on reunification.

Although it is impossible to integrate Chinese and western medicine into a unified medical model, they can develop independently and coexist and complement each other. Due to the influence of modern information theory, system theory and cybernetics, if we simply attach importance to analysis and ignore the overall structure and function, the development trend of western medicine will undoubtedly narrow. However, Chinese medicine pays attention to "feeling", which is inevitably accompanied by many subjective factors, and it is difficult to quantify and characterize objectively.

If the diagnosis of diseases in TCM can refer to the microscopic analysis of modern medicine, the combination of syndrome differentiation and disease differentiation can realize the unity of macro and micro, and make the diagnosis of TCM objective, that is, the method of combining analysis and synthesis is introduced into the research of TCM theories, methods and prescriptions, so that the two can be organically combined, learn from each other's strong points and avoid their one-sidedness and limitations.

This will be conducive to the complementary advantages of Chinese and Western medicine, "harmony without difference" and diversified development. The unique role of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of SARS, avian influenza and AIDS has also confirmed the organic combination of the two and has positive clinical effects.
