Tong Xiaolin said that after the epidemic, western medicine's acceptance and recognition of traditional Chinese medicine will be improved to a certain extent. However, traditional Chinese medicine can not be complacent, because Western medicine has treated more people than traditional Chinese medicine, and has indeed solved many difficult problems, including many breakthroughs in emergency treatment, trauma, infection source, infectious disease control and other fields.
"The position of traditional Chinese medicine is gradually shrinking, especially in the emergency department." However, he said that through the fight against the new crown, the state will pay more attention to the participation of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of sudden major infectious diseases, including participation in some first aid, and the construction in this respect will be strengthened, and the legal provisions on the participation of traditional Chinese medicine in public health events will be established and improved.
He believes that the development of traditional Chinese medicine, talent cultivation is very important, in addition to the school textbook education, we should also do a good job in teacher education. We should fully inherit the valuable traditional academic experience and make the cause of traditional Chinese medicine develop sustainably.
