Commitment to boosting traditional medicine for global benefits reiterated

Brazilian therapist Reginaldo Filho, who has studied traditional Chinese medicine for more than 25 years, has seen the popularity of TCM therapies skyrocket in Brazil.

Intrigued by a display of Chinese herbs ranging from hawthorn and lotus leaf to ginseng and astragalus root on the sidelines of a conference in Beijing on Tuesday, Filho vowed to make every effort in promoting TCM to people in his country, as President Xi Jinping also reaffirmed China's commitment to enhancing traditional medicine to better benefit people around the world.

In a congratulatory letter sent to the 2024 World Conference on Traditional Medicine, which opened in Beijing on Tuesday, Xi said that efforts are needed from all sides to strengthen medical and health cooperation, jointly address global health challenges and promote the building of a global community of health for all.
