Two subcommittees established under Chinese Medicine Development Committee
The Government announced today (May 24) the establishment of the
Chinese Medicine Practice Subcommittee (CMPSC) and the Chinese
Medicines Industry Subcommittee (CMISC) under the Chinese Medicine
Development Committee (the Committee). Besides comprising some
Committee members and ex-officio members, the two subcommittees have
also invited members from different fields, such as Chinese medicine
practice, Chinese medicine trade, academia, testing and certification,
and lay persons to join. The term of membership will be from today to
January 31, 2015.
To implement the policy direction of developing Chinese medicine as
committed to in the Chief Executive's Manifesto, the Chief Executive
announced in the 2013 Policy Address the establishment of the
Committee, which will give recommendations to the Government
concerning the direction and long-term strategy of the future
development of Chinese medicine in Hong Kong.
The Committee held its first meeting on March 4, 2013, during which it
endorsed the establishment of the CMPSC and the CMISC in order to
enable the Committee to focus discussions on relevant areas. "The two
Subcommittees will separately focus their deliberations and study
specific measures in various key areas in terms of facilitating the
