Chinese President Xi Jinping has written a letter of congratulations for the 60th anniversary of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences (CACMS), which held a commemorative meeting Tuesday.
In the letter, the president extended his sincere wishes to medical and health practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Generation after generation of TCM pharmacists, researchers and practitioners, including Nobel Prize winner Tu Youyou, have worked hard and earned merits, contributing significantly to the development of TCM and benefiting health services, Xi said.
TCM is the treasure of ancient Chinese science and should be valued to take advantage of its unique advantages, Xi stressed. The president said China should advance the modernization of TCM and make TCM accepted and popular worldwide.
Premier Li Keqiang has also sent a congratulatory message to the CACMS. He emphasized the need to combine TCM and Western medicine to cultivate more medical talent and make new breakthroughs in health.
