This year, the conference focuses on the theme of "Chinese Medicine with

Epidemic Prevention and Healthcare," which reflected Shizhu government's idea

generating an annual output of 65,000tons. The planting scale and output of

Coptis chinensis account for 60% of China and 40% of the world.

In recent years, Shizhu government has put the deep-processing of Chinese

herbal medicine as the priority, by building Chinese medicine medical

institutions and senior care organizations.

Recently, the Huangshui Rehabilitation Hospital affiliated with Chongqing

Medical University has opened, after receiving 350million yuan investment from

Chongqing Medical University. Meanwhile, 13 boutique Chinese medicine museums

have been built and opened in Huangshui area. There are 13 recuperation sample

sites in Shizhu. Traditional Chinese medicine services are provided in more

than 75% of village clinics. Shizhu has also been rated as "National Advanced

Unit for Primary-level Traditional Chinese Medicine."

"Considering this year's special situation of epidemic prevention, combined

with the advantages of Shizhu's dietary resources, we set the theme of this

conference as 'Chinese Medicine with Epidemic Prevention and Healthcare.' In

the next step, we will begin with building nursing homes to create a well-known

healthcare center nationwide, therefore make tourism related to traditional

Chinese medicine a new economic growth factor for Shizhu," Yang Linquan,

director of the Shizhu Healthcare Commission, said in the live broadcast of

"Chinese Medicine with Epidemic Prevention and Health" on Xinhua Cloud platform.

During the signing session of the opening ceremony, Shizhu has signed 15

healthcare industry.
