The government plans to establish a Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine in Hungary

Hungary can be a regional center for traditional Chinese medicine if the planned project to establish a traditional Chinese treatment center with research and training capabilities goes ahead as planned said Secretary of Human Resources Department Bence Rétvári on Thursday in his opening speech at Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference held in Budapest.

Rétvári said that Hungary was committed to further expand Sino-Hungarian relations of which one important aspect could be the establishment of the Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Demand for non-conventional, complementary therapies grow worldwide; it is important that the government create reliable conditions for training and remedial practices in the country.

Rétvári pointed out that there was room for the coexistence of traditional western medicine, and the knowledge of thousands of years of Chinese healing practices – as the two can complement each other.
