Jiang Zemin's Remarks at the CPPCC Education, Pharmacy, and Health Sub-Group Meeting
At the CPPCC joint meeting of the education, pharmacy, and health sub-groups, Jiang Zemin emphasized: Chinese medicine and pharmacy is a distinctive character of our medical science and an important part of our fine culture. It has made not only an important contribution to Chinese civilization, but also a positive impact on the progress of world civilization. We must rightly handle the relation of inheritance and development and press forward the modernization of Chinese medicine and pharmacy. Equal stress on Chinese and Western medicine — common development, mutual complement — will deliver more complete and effective health care to the people.
