How to treat COVID-19 with TCM

Suggestions on future actions from WFCMS

1. In the global fight against COVID-19, all methods that can effectively contain COVID-19 should be widely used. We suggested the WHO recommend TCM and Chinese patent medicines that have been proven to be effective on COVID-19 to fight against the pandemic.

2. In this anti-pandemic work, clinical use and observation of more than 70,000 confirmed cases showed that TCM can effectively alleviate symptoms, reduce the progression of light and moderate to severe, improve the cure rate, reduce the mortality rate, and promote recovery during the rehabilitation period. The total effective rate reached over 90 percent. The combined use of TCM and Western medicine has played an active role. The integrated use can quickly help mild patients improve clinical symptoms and help shorten the length of a hospital stay in epidemic containment. It is a practical and effective medical method. We suggested the WHO recommend TCM to be used in countries around the world.

3. According to the "WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy" and the collaboration plan between the WHO and WFCMS, we are going to improve on the collaboration in developing Chinese medicine standards and evidence-based medicine research, and further promote TCM to take a part in global health governance, so that can serve human health much better.

Break through the darkness and we will see the stars again.
