Traditional Chinese medicine shines at Palais des Nations

GENEVA — "I was struck by how the Chinese doctor diagnosed my health issues simply by taking my pulse, and I hadn't even mentioned anything," Rasha Mouzahem, wife of Syria's permanent representative to the UN Office at Geneva, or UNOG, said at the Palais des Nations on Monday.

During the lunch break, a crowd of diplomats gathered for the Art and Tradition of Chinese Medicine Event, organized by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Permanent Mission of the People's Republic of China to the UNOG, and the UNOG.

The event drew about 200 participants, notably officials from international organizations and diplomats from more than 50 countries such as Brazil, Pakistan, Syria, Bangladesh, Georgia, Gambia, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Kazakhstan and Mauritius.
