A non-compromising healthcare service sustains and supports both people and environmental health. The rapid climate change demands a sustainable transformation; the healthcare service is not an exception to this fast-paced alteration plaguing our world to enormous resource consumption in the years to come. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), an alternative treatment existing for more than a thousand years, is slowly finding its way to one of the primary healthcare services. It is a belief among the ancient Chinese that, in this vast universe, humans are microcosms and are interlinked with nature and its forces. The key concept is the balance between one’s health and disease—between internal body organs and the external elements of wood, metal, water, fire, and earth.
As one of the few higher institutions to offer TCM courses and affiliated with TCM universities in China, MSU’s School of Pharmacy combines biomedical sciences with traditional and complementary medicinal practices in an interdisciplinary approach to teaching TCM, with excellent links with major national and international organisations worldwide.
With the prime goals of carrying out the inheritance research and innovation development and promoting the international exchange of Zhongjing academics, the launching of the 6th Zhongjing Academic Conference & Forum, co-organised by the ZhongJing Inheritance and Innovation Professional Committee of the World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies (WFCMS), Management and Science University (MSU), and China-Malaysia Zhang ZhongJing Chinese Medicine Center convened at the Performing Arts Theatre (PAT) of MSU.
Established in 2018, the Zhongjing Academic Conference and Forum was initiated and organized by Henan University of Chinese Medicine (HUCM). In 2023, this marks the institute’s first global endeavor to organize the event worldwide, with MSU serving as the host institution. Over nearly a decade of partnership, collaborations between MSU and HUCM have given rise to the Joint Institute MSU & HUCM, the Double Degree Programme for a Bachelor in Traditional Chinese Medicine, research collaborations for a multi-center clinical trial – with MSU Medical Center (MSUMC) being one of the clinical trial centers – an official offshore Chinese Medicine Center at MSUMC, staff exchanges, and student mobility programs.
Welcoming all the officials and delegations from HUCM and officiating the conference was MSU President Professor Tan Sri Dato’ Wira Dr. Mohd Shukri Ab Yajid.
“MSU has been highly committed to developing TCM since the establishment of the programmes in 2013. A comprehensive and multifaceted ecosystem is branched out into three main components: academic, clinical, and research collaboration, which are the fundamental approaches carried out to produce industry-ready graduates. On behalf of the University, I would like to thank all for their commitment, good practices, and willingness to expand the realms of TCM worldwide.”
Also present in the launching were Professor Xu Erping, President of the WFCMS; Dr Goh Cheng Soon, Director of Traditional and Complementary Medicine Division at Ministry of Health Malaysia; Rao Hong, Director of International Office at HUCM; Li Dongyang, Director of Technology at HUCM; Professor Dr. Indang Ariati Ariffin, Vice President of Research and International Affairs; Professor Datin Dr. Norhisham Mohamad, Vice President Academic; Jenny Chen, Director of MSU China Joint Institute; Associate Professor Dr. Mohd Fadli Mohd Asmani, Dean of School of Pharmacy; and speakers and delegates from HUCM.
The conference brought together speakers and experts in TCM, both from China and Malaysia. The topics for the conference encompassed various themes, such as Current Updates on TCM Practice, Regulations & Education in Malaysia by Dr. Goh Cheng Soon, Director of Traditional and Complementary Division, Ministry of Health Malaysia; Research Work & Opportunities in MSU by Professor Dr. Muhammad Najib Mohamad Alwi of MSU; Studies on Belalai Gajah by Associate Professor Dr. Mohd Fadli Mohd Asmani; Differentiation and Treatment of Spleen & Stomach Diseases in TCM by Professor Xu Erping; The Wisdom of Traditional Medicine in the Prevention and Treatment of COVID-19 by Dr. Lyu Wenliang of HUCM; Study of Pericardium – Triple Energizer – Membrane System by Dr. Chen Yulong of HUCM; Differentiation and Treatment of Chronic Cough by Dr. He Liqing of HUCM; Clinical Application of Bupleurum in the Treatment of Double Heart Diseases by Professor Zhu Cuiling of HUCM; The Nanyang Gene & Times Values of Zhang ZhongJing Culture by Li Mingli of HUCM; The Prevention and Treatment of Depressive Disorder by TCM by Professor Bai Ming of HUCM; Buyang Huanwu Decoction and its Effect, Mechanism in Treatment of Central Nervous System Disease by Dr. Song Lijuan of HUCM; Clinical Application of Danggui Sini Decoction by Dr. Wang Zhenliang of HUCM; and Famous Clinical Expert of TCM Li Fazhi Classical Prescription Application Case by Professor Cui Shanshan of HUCM.
The four-day conference aims to provide a valuable platform for the exchange of knowledge regarding TCM, a medical practice with a long-standing history in China that has demonstrated efficacy in treating a wide range of diseases and ailments. The conference is also expected to be particularly beneficial for participants engaged in research activities, as it will facilitate discussions on topics such as the prevention and treatment of both communicable and non-communicable diseases in Malaysia.
