service on top of the hospital fee. It not only provides the
western medical services to our hospitalized patients, but

and Chinese herbs treatment. The western doctor will discuss
the successful referral case and treatment with the Traditional
Chinese Medicine Practitioner (TCMP) in the first co-consultation.

the acupuncture pints by acupuncture or prescribing te Chinese
herbs and ongoing monitoring, the functions of nervous system
and muscle power of the patients will be improved. As a result,
