At the initiative of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), the Belt and Road Traditional Chinese Medicine Development Alliance was formed in 2023. This non-profit organization includes esteemed institutions such as Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and many others from across China, Hong Kong, Macao, and beyond. Currently, the alliance comprises 36 universities and numerous renowned medical and industrial institutions from countries including Canada, Thailand, Malaysia, South Africa, and Sri Lanka.
The inaugural Belt and Road Alliance for the Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine – Traditional Medicine Summit, scheduled for Sunday, January 12, 2025, at CUHK, supported by the Professional Services Advancement Support Scheme (PASS). Taking this opportunity, the summit will offer a professional platform for discussion and exchange, fostering meaningful dialogue and collaboration among participants. Our goal is to promote Traditional Chinese Medicine on an international scale and contribute to the global health community. The summit will focus on two main themes: Traditional Medicine for the prevention and treatment of diseases, and Herbal Medicine-related research.
