| 二、中国发展中医药的政策措施 |
II. Policies and Measures on TCM Development |
| 中国高度重视中医药事业发展。新中国成立初期，把“团结中西医”作为三大卫生工作方针之一，确立了中医药应有的地位和作用。1978年，中共中央转发卫生部《关于认真贯彻党的中医政策，解决中医队伍后继乏人问题的报告》，并在人、财、物等方面给予大力支持，有力地推动了中医药事业发展。中华人民共和国宪法指出，发展现代医药和我国传统医药，保护人民健康。1986年，国务院成立相对独立的中医药管理部门。各省、自治区、直辖市也相继成立中医药管理机构，为中医药发展提供了组织保障。第七届全国人民代表大会第四次会议将“中西医并重”列为新时期中国卫生工作五大方针之一。2003年，国务院颁布实施《中华人民共和国中医药条例》；2009年，国务院颁布实施《关于扶持和促进中医药事业发展的若干意见》，逐步形成了相对完善的中医药政策体系。 |
China lays great store by the development of TCM. When the People's Republic was founded in 1949, the government placed emphasis on uniting Chinese and Western medicine as one of its three guidelines for health work, and enshrined the important role of TCM. In 1978, the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee transmitted throughout the country the Ministry of Health's "Report on Implementing the Party's Policies Regarding TCM and Cultivating TCM Practitioners," and lent great support in areas of human resources, finance, and supplies, vigorously promoting the development of TCM. It is stipulated in the Constitution of the PRC that the state promotes modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine to protect the people's health. In 1986, the State Council set up a relatively independent administration of TCM. All provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government have established their respective TCM administrations, which has laid an organizational basis for TCM development. At the Fourth Meeting of the Seventh National People's Congress, equal emphasis was put on Chinese and Western medicine, which was made one of the five guidelines in China's health work in the new period. In 2003 and 2009, the State Council issued the "Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Traditional Chinese Medicine" and the "Opinions on Supporting and Promoting the Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine," gradually forming a relatively complete policy system on TCM. |
| 中国共产党第十八次全国代表大会以来，党和政府把发展中医药摆上更加重要的位置，作出一系列重大决策部署。在全国卫生与健康大会上，习近平总书记强调，要“着力推动中医药振兴发展”。中国共产党第十八次全国代表大会和十八届五中全会提出“坚持中西医并重”“扶持中医药和民族医药事业发展”。2015年，国务院常务会议通过《中医药法（草案）》，并提请全国人大常委会审议，为中医药事业发展提供良好的政策环境和法制保障。2016年，中共中央、国务院印发《“健康中国2030”规划纲要》，作为今后15年推进健康中国建设的行动纲领，提出了一系列振兴中医药发展、服务健康中国建设的任务和举措。国务院印发《中医药发展战略规划纲要（2016－2030年）》，把中医药发展上升为国家战略，对新时期推进中医药事业发展作出系统部署。这些决策部署，描绘了全面振兴中医药、加快医药卫生体制改革、构建中国特色医药卫生体系、推进健康中国建设的宏伟蓝图，中医药事业进入新的历史发展时期。 |
Since the CPC's 18th National Congress in 2012, the Party and the government have granted greater importance to the development of TCM, and made a series of major policy decisions and adopted a number of plans in this regard. At the National Conference on Hygiene and Health held in August 2016, President Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of revitalizing and developing traditional Chinese medicine. The CPC's 18th National Congress and the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee both reiterated the necessity to pay equal attention to the development of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine and lend support to the development of TCM and ethnic minority medicine. In 2015, the executive meeting of the State Council approved the Law on Traditional Chinese Medicine (draft) and submitted it to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for deliberation and approval, intending to provide a sounder policy environment and legal basis for TCM development. In 2016 the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the Outline of the Healthy China 2030 Plan, a guide to improving the health of the Chinese people in the coming 15 years. It sets out a series of tasks and measures to implement the program and develop TCM. The State Council issued the Outline of the Strategic Plan on the Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (2016-2030), which made TCM development a national strategy, with systemic plans for TCM development in the new era. These decisions and plans have mapped out a grand blueprint that focuses on the full revitalization of TCM, accelerated reform of the medical and healthcare system, the building of a medical and healthcare system with Chinese characteristics, and the advancement of the healthy China plan, thus ushering in a new era of development for TCM. |
| 中国发展中医药的基本原则和主要措施： |
The basic principles and main measures envisioned to develop TCM are: |
| 坚持以人为本，实现中医药成果人民共享。中医药有很深的群众基础，文化理念易于为人民群众所接受。中医药工作以满足人民群众健康需求为出发点和落脚点，不断扩大中医医疗服务供给，提高基层中医药健康管理水平，推进中医药与社区服务、养老、旅游等融合发展，普及中医药健康知识，倡导健康的生产生活方式，增进人民群众健康福祉，保证人民群众享有安全、有效、方便的中医药服务。 |
Putting people first, and making achievements in TCM development accessible to everyone. TCM roots deep among the public, and the philosophies it contains are easy to understand. To meet the people's demand for healthcare, China endeavors to expand the supply of TCM services, improve community-level TCM health management, advance the integral development of TCM with community service, care of the elderly and tourism, spread knowledge of TCM and advocate healthy ways of life and work, enhance welfare for the public, and ensure that the people can enjoy safe, efficient, and convenient TCM services. |

Making TCM and Western medicine complementary to each other, and letting each play to its strengths. The state encourages exchanges between TCM and Western medicine, and creates opportunities for Western medical practitioners to learn from their TCM counterparts. Modern medicine courses are offered at TCM colleges and universities to strengthen the cultivation of doctors who have a good knowledge of both TCM and Western medicine. In addition to the general departments, TCM hospitals have been encouraged to open specialized departments for specific diseases. General hospitals and community-level medical care organizations have been encouraged to set up TCM departments, and TCM has been made available to patients in the basic medical care system and efforts have been made to make it play a more important role in basic medical care. A mechanism has been established for TCM to participate in medical relief of public emergencies and the prevention and control of serious infectious diseases. |
| 坚持继承与创新的辩证统一，既保持特色优势又积极利用现代科学技术。建立名老中医药专家学术思想和临床诊疗经验传承制度，系统挖掘整理中医古典医籍与民间医药知识和技术。建设符合中医药特点的科技创新体系，开展中医药基础理论、诊疗技术、疗效评价等系统研究，组织重大疑难疾病、重大传染病防治的联合攻关和对常见病、多发病、慢性病的中医药防治研究，推动中药新药和中医诊疗仪器、设备研制开发。 |
Upholding the dialectical unity of tradition and innovation, i.e., maintaining TCM's characteristics while actively applying modern science and technology in TCM development. A system has been established to carry forward the theories and clinical experience of well-known veteran TCM experts, and efforts have been made to rediscover and categorize ancient TCM classics and folk medical experience and practices. A system of technological innovation has been established to advance TCM progress, and efforts have been made to carry out systemic research on the fundamental theories, clinical diagnosis and treatment, and therapeutic evaluation of TCM. Interdisciplinary efforts have been organized in joint research on the treatment and control of major difficult and complicated diseases and major infectious diseases, as well as research on the prevention and treatment of common diseases, frequently occurring diseases, and chronic diseases using TCM. Endeavor has been made in the R&D of new TCM medicines, and medical devices and equipment. |
