　　On January 15, we learned from the Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine that on January 14, the 2016 National Working Conference on Traditional Chinese Medicine was held in Beijing. Wang Guoqiang, deputy director of the National Health and Family Planning Commission and director of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that we must do a good job in formulating and implementing plans such as the "Strategic Plan for the Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (2016-2030)", actively promote the legislation of traditional Chinese medicine, continue to promote the deepening of various reforms such as medical reform, vigorously develop traditional Chinese medicine health services, accelerate the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine, focus on strengthening the construction of traditional Chinese medicine talents, accelerate the development of ethnic medicine, and fully promote the overseas development of traditional Chinese medicine.

　　Wang Guoqiang said that traditional Chinese medicine health services will be vigorously developed. First, it is necessary to accelerate the development of TCM medical services, optimize resource allocation, and improve the TCM diagnosis and treatment service capabilities of tertiary TCM hospitals for critical, severe, difficult and complex diseases and the TCM outpatient diagnosis and treatment service capabilities of TCM dominant diseases. Launch the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” action plan to improve grassroots TCM service capabilities to further enhance the comprehensive service capabilities of county-level TCM hospitals. Innovate the service model of traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, promote the social operation of traditional Chinese medicine, and accelerate the formation of a diversified and multi-level medical service pattern. Second, we must promote the development of health care and specialty rehabilitation services, promote the construction of "preventive treatment" capabilities, carry out pilot cooperation in health management with traditional Chinese medicine characteristics, and provide residents with traditional Chinese medicine health care services that integrate traditional Chinese medicine health monitoring, consultation and evaluation, health conditioning, and management. Promote the development of rehabilitation service institutions with traditional Chinese medicine characteristics, and encourage referrals and cooperation between second-level and above traditional Chinese medicine hospitals and rehabilitation and nursing institutions. Third, we must actively develop new business forms of healthy elderly care and healthy tourism. Fourth, we must strengthen relevant supporting industries, promote the research and development of traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic and treatment equipment, traditional Chinese medicine fitness products, traditional Chinese medicine, and health food, accelerate the development of traditional Chinese medicine health service technology products and service project design, and enrich traditional Chinese medicine health service products. Cultivate traditional Chinese medicine cultural science popularization creative products and cultural products, promote scientific and standardized health care knowledge, and spread the voice of traditional Chinese medicine. Fifth, we must strengthen the supervision and management of traditional Chinese medicine health services, establish a bad practice record system, introduce a certification system, and guide industry self-discipline.

　　Wang Guoqiang also emphasized that he will actively promote the legislation of traditional Chinese medicine and continue to promote various reforms such as deepening medical reform. Wang Guoqiang said that all reform tasks must focus on the goal of revitalizing and developing traditional Chinese medicine, on improving the development policies and mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine, and on serving the construction of a healthy China. We must seize the key points and make precise efforts.

　　Industry insiders said that the concept of Healthy China will be elevated from the National Health and Family Planning Commission level to a national strategy, integrating the concept of health into the government's policy philosophy and becoming part of the Chinese Dream. As an important part of this, traditional Chinese medicine health care services are also expected to usher in rapid development opportunities.
