The Government announced today (January 31) the appointments of 13 new members and re-appointments of nine incumbent members to the Chinese Medicine Development Committee (CMDC).
Meanwhile, Ms Feng Jiu and Mr Tommy Li Ying-sang are appointed as the Chairman of the Chinese Medicine Practice Subcommittee (CMPSC) and the Chinese Medicines Industry Subcommittee (CMISC) under the CMDC respectively.
All appointments will take effect from February 1, 2019, for a term of two years.
The CMDC is chaired by the Secretary for Food and Health to give recommendations to the Government concerning the direction and long-term strategy of the future development of Chinese medicine in Hong Kong, focusing on the study of four key areas, namely the development of Chinese medicine services, personnel training and professional development, research and development, and development of the Chinese medicines industry (including Chinese medicines testing). In the past six years, the CMDC has provided valuable advice to the Government on various important issues including the development of a Chinese medicine hospital, integrated Chinese-Western medicine development, the Hong Kong Chinese Materia Medica Standards Project and the Government Chinese Medicines Testing Institute. The CMPSC and the CMISC have been set up under the CMDC to focus deliberation on respective areas.
The Secretary for Food and Health, Professor Sophia Chan, thanked outgoing members of the committee and subcommittees for their invaluable contributions to the development of Chinese medicine.
The membership of the CMDC and the two sub-committees, effective from February 1, 2019, are as follows:
