The official urged participants at the event to propose solutions to traditional medicine development in the time to come.
Agencies and localities were asked to step up communications to raise public awareness of traditional procedure-based therapies, pay more heed to planting and processing traditional medicines, revamp their financial mechanisms and mobise resources for this type of medicine.
