Definition of the National Health Planning Commission

The National Health Planning Commission uses the word 12 to define the specialty of Chinese medicine: the method is unique, the technology is safe and the curative effect is obvious. Before the word 12, there is a restriction: the diagnosis and treatment of some diseases and syndromes. The difference is that students who learn from teachers must be appraised by tutors, while folk Chinese medicine must be recognized by patients.
