Populations throughout the world use traditional medicine to help meet their primary health care needs. The practice of traditional medicine (TM) varies widely, in keeping with the societal and cultural heritage of different countries. Taiwan's traditional medicine has become a part of its mainstream healthcare for many years. The achievements and experiences have let Taiwan become a vanguard globally. This symposium marks Taiwan's largest exchange activity in terms of the number of traditional medicine personnel coming to Taiwan from overseas. Besides sharing experiences and developmental model of Taiwan's traditional medicine, the program will further assist other countries pursuing the development of their own traditional medicine to construct a related management system. It will also aid in strengthening medical and health cooperation between Taiwan and its diplomatic allies, while raising the international image of Taiwan's health standards.
