The China-Philippines Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Center, represented by Professor Zhen Qi Ming and the Jin Jiang City Bureau of Health and Sanitation led by deputy director Huang Guo Yu signed a cooperation agreement at Jin Jiang Hospital of Chinese Medicine on Dec. 19, 2024.
The collaboration, supported by Fujian Chinese Medicine University, aims to integrate the core principles of traditional Chinese medicine with modern healthcare services.
It also seeks to enhance the development of the TCM industry in the Philippines by combining medical, educational, cultural, and industrial elements into a single, unified system.
The TCM Center, headquartered in Mandaluyong City, has made significant strides in the Philippines, having opened a Chinese Medicine Department at Manila Metropolitan Hospital in April 2022.
It provides a range of services, including acupuncture, cupping, herbal treatments, and health consultations, primarily serving the Filipino Chinese community.
With the new partnership, the TCM Center aims to expand its services and outreach, promoting the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine to a wider audience in the Philippines while fostering closer ties between the two countries in the field of healthcare.
