More than 80 percent of Taiwanese have visited a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the past 12 months, a survey released on Friday by the National Union of Chinese Medical Doctors’ Associations showed.
Men aged 60 or older are more likely to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to treat a medical condition or as part of a wellness routine, while 80 percent of respondents said they see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor at least once per year, according to the survey, published ahead of the one-year anniversary of the Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy Development Act (中醫藥發展法).
