Traditional Chinese medicine has never missed a single fight against epidemics
throughout Chinese history. After over 2,000 years, the long-tested oriental
wisdom is still making its due contributions to the well-being of Chinese people.

Last Friday, the first phase of a sports center-turned hospital began operation
in Wuhan, the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak. It is the city's first
TCM-oriented temporary hospital. A total of 800 patients will receive treatment
there once the second phase is completed.
The medical team of 209 doctors and nurses from 20 TCM hospitals in five provinces
led by Zhang have since been carrying out TCM clinical treatment and research
at the hospital.

Statistics show that 2,220 medics from TCM hospitals and institutions across China
have been sent to aid the epidemic fight in Hubei so far. Over 75 percent of
COVID-19 patients are receiving TCM treatment in Hubei and over 90 percent in
other parts of China.
On Feb. 6 alone, 23 patients in Hubei were discharged after receiving integrated
treatment of TCM and Western medicine.
Zhang said patients with mild symptoms showed obvious improvement after TCM treatment,
and for critical patients, TCM decreased their lung exudation, stabilized blood oxygen
saturation and reduced respiratory support and antibiotic use.
According to Hunan's health commission, TCM was used in the treatment of nearly 95
percent of the admitted patients. Among the discharged, over 90 percent underwent
integrated treatment of TCM and Western medicine.
