BEIJING (China Daily/ANN): In the global fight against Covid-19, while most Chinese manufacturers are stepping up efforts to provide medical devices to the world, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) enterprises are helping the world combat the pandemic.
TCM has proved to have a positive effect throughout the coronavirus prevention and treatment period, industry experts said.
China Traditional Chinese Medicine Holdings Co Ltd, a subsidiary of Sinopharm Group, donated medical supplies worth 400,000 yuan to help fight the deadly contagion in Italy and France. Meanwhile, Beijing Tong Ren Tang Chinese Medicine Co Ltd donated 4,000 doses of TCM to Singapore and Toronto. A total of 20,000 doses of its cold granules were delivered to Seoul.
At the end of March, Yiling's Lianhuaqingwen capsules received registration approval from the Thailand Ministry of Public Health, allowing the company to sell the products in the Thai market. "A scientific TCM standard that conforms to international standards needs to be established as soon as possible. Chinese herbs should be listed as national strategic resources that offer strong protection if developed and utilised in the proper way," Zhang added.
"The major problem for TCM internationalisation lies in legislation, as including TCM into local markets requires a country to amend their own codes, which is very difficult," he said.
