Modern China and Traditional Chinese Medicine

 

“Given the strong emphasis by the Chinese on their accomplishments in medicine and public health, it is not surprising that, since the door to China came ajar in the last two years, there has been a flurry of conferences and publications on these subjects in the United States…this book has the advantage of assembling a body of information in one source book. It will be of interest to those who follow developments in these fields in China.”

John Z. Bowers, Journal of the History of Medicine 29 (Jul 1974): 353-55

“In view of the recent inundation of enthusiastic and to a large extent uncritical reports it is particularly necessary to establish a basis for understanding the contemporary situation…This book contributes to an understanding of the modern health care system of the People’s Republic of China although it does not present many new facts and conclusions.”
