Doctor dedicated to innovating traditional medicine in pediatrics

At 6:50 am, Ding Ying, 72-year-old chief pediatrician of traditional Chinese medicine, was ready to get on a commuter bus to work. About 30 minutes later, she arrived at her office at the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine, in central China's Henan province.

She put on a doctor's white coat and donned her glasses promptly, starting her daily consultations as usual.

As a TCM master, Ding was honored in 2023 with the Most Beautiful Doctor award at a conference launched by the State Council Information Office on Aug 18.
