The Future of TCM: A Global Perspective
In China, TCM doctors work in hospitals. The busiest hospital in the world are TCM hospitals. For example, the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine receives 5 million patients a year.
In
Australia, TCM is currently being taught in medical universities. Research into Chinese Medicine has taken place in many universities, pharmaceutical companies and hospitals. There are about 3000 medical acupuncturists practicing in
Australia.
In Europe, there are more than 3000 TCM clinics in the
UK and a TCM hospital operating in
Germany.
In
Japan, medical graduates are required to pass a TCM examination in order to become licensed medical doctors. The medical system in
Japan utilizes a combination of Chinese and Western medicine.
In
Korea and
Taiwan, enrolment into TCM degrees in requires a higher entrance score than into Western medicine degrees.
The combination of Chinese and Western medicine has shown great advantages, both medically and economically.A recent report has found that the USA (population: 350 million), where Western medicine is mainstream and average lifespan is 78 years, spends USD $5440 per person in 2008 on public medical expenses. Whereas
China (population: 1.32 billion), a country with a combination of the two medical systems and an average lifespan of 73 years, spends RMB $828 (approx. USD $130) per person in 2008 on public medical expenses; the 4th lowest amount in the world.
