Traditional Chinese Medicine

Today, medical care in China often consists of a mixture of both Western and traditional Chinese medicine although Western-style medicine tends to be dominant. Large public hospitals in cities across the country offer both of these approaches to medical treatment. The Chinese will usually visit a doctor trained in Western medicine if they feel that they are seriously ill and need to be treated quickly. If the problem is not too serious or urgent, the patient will most likely see a traditional doctor who can better restore harmony to the body.
