Chinese Medical Evolution

Chinese medicine, like the medical fields of many other countries, has grown tremendously in the past 100 years. It has its roots that can be traced back nearly 2400 years, beggining with acupunture and herbology. A major problem that has been facing China though is that they are reluctant to leave their old ways of practicing medicine. By the late 1980's the Chinese government realized that if they were to compete with other countries on a national level they would have to impose stricter regulations. In a country of over one billion they only found 500 doctors that were sutable to practice medicine under the new codes. China is an up and comming country that will make their name in the global economy and medical industry. They have the potentional and recources to become one of the strongest countries in the world
