Appointments to Chinese Medicine Development Committee
******************************************************
     The Government announced today (January 31) the appointments of three new members and re-appointments of 19 incumbent members to the Chinese Medicine Development Committee (CMDC). Meanwhile, Mr Chan Wing-kwong is appointed as the Chairman of the Chinese Medicine Practice Subcommittee (CMPSC) under the CMDC while Mr Tommy Li Ying-sang is re-appointed as the Chairman of the Chinese Medicines Industry Subcommittee (CMISC).

     All appointments will take effect from February 1, 2021, for a term of two years.
 
     The CMDC is chaired by the Secretary for Food and Health to provide 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, scientific research and development, and development of the Chinese medicines industry (including Chinese medicines testing). Since its establishment in 2013, 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 establishment of the Government Chinese Medicines Testing Institute, etc. The CMPSC and the CMISC have been set up under the CMDC to focus deliberation on respective areas.
