The provincial government of Cebu has entered into a partnership with a Chinese school of traditional medicine to train local doctors on alternative healing.<\/p>\n
A health summit is likewise in the works to give government and private physicians an opportunity to learn traditional Chinese medicine through a partnership with the Fuzhou City-based Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.<\/p>\n
Experts from Fujian will share their expertise on traditional forms of healing such as the use of herbal medicines, acupuncture and naturopathy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are putting together a schedule for the Fujian University professors that will be coming over to share their knowledge,\u201d Governor Gwendolyn Garcia said in a statement on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Garcia said she intends to incorporate traditional medicine into the province\u2019s \u201cSugbusog\u201d livelihood program that entices families to go into farming.<\/p>\n
Traditional medicine and alternative healthcare systems will also be included in the programs for the 16 Cebu capitol-run hospitals as well as in the training for barangay health workers.<\/p>\n
She also urged doctors at the region\u2019s pilot hospital, Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center, to train on Chinese medicine.<\/p>\n
The governor said she became interested in traditional medicine when she visited Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine during a four-day trade mission last year. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
