Conclusion
Tianjiang Pharmaceutical's trip to the United States got them involved with a variety of significant entities in the Chinese medicine field: The United States Highland Hospital, Sutter Health for clinical research of traditional Chinese medicine, the Harvard Academic Forum for academic lectures, and the New York Medical College. Each institution or platform aimed to conduct basic scientific research on traditional Chinese medicine, and attended the US industrial trade show by the market to progress development of the Chinese medicine raw material market.
Tianjiang Pharmaceutical has received enriched experience from visiting hospitals, researching markets, researching policies, and exchanging academics, especially in the mainstream of medicine in the U.S. The company not only recognizes the dilemma of development of traditional Chinese medicine in the mainstream medical market in the West, but also sees that history has given us unprecedented opportunities for change. Via the progress of society and the expansion of science and technology, the spectrum of diseases has undergone tremendous change, and the medical goals and models have undergone tremendous change, as well. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western modern medicine can complement each other and develop synergistically. As Chen Zhu, the former Minister of Health of China said, "The convergence of the two cognitive forces between the East and the West is an inevitable trend in the promotion and development of modern medicine to a higher level. This convergence has enriched and improved the connotation of Chinese and Western medicine.".
The Tianjiang team conducted a more comprehensive and thorough group discussion in New York and made a systematic U.S. market development plan. They decided to use the achievements and advantages of Tianjiang in China to promote the traditional Chinese medicine. Tianjiang plans to abide to requirements of Western modern medicine, design scientific and clinical research programs, launch products suitable for the U.S. market and build systematic distribution systems. By carrying out scientific research cooperation, academic lectures, Chinese medicine and acupuncture eduction programs, and public wellness education Tianjiang Pharmaceutical may be the first brand in the U.S. Chinese herbal extract market.
Tianjiang Pharmaceutical's deep interaction with the American Chinese medicine industry has effectively promoted the company's internationalization process. Traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure of ancient Chinese culture and a central part of the world's medical treasury. The development of Chinese medicine and its service to human health are the tenets of Sinopharm Tianjiang.
