Star: THE Government has indirectly recognised the academic qualifications from three universities in China in areas of traditional medicine, reported Nanyang Siang Pau.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said Malaysia did not have the mechanism to assess certificates in the field of traditional medicine.
“However, the Chinese have 5,000 years of history and there is no reason for us to not recognise their achievement in traditional medicine,” he said.
He said doctors under the Health Ministry were allowed to undergo a short-term training programme, a five-year course in traditional medicine or a three-year specialised course at Beijing Guang An Men Hospital, Shanghai University and Nanjing University respectively.
The courses include acupuncture and traditional herbs and are conducted in English.
