Let TCM sector operate during NRP, urges MCA

Points to consider: Dr Wee at a virtual meeting with TCM associations yesterday.

PETALING JAYA: The traditional and complementary medicine (TCM) sector should be given permission to operate under a strict standard operating procedure (SOP) during the first phase of the National Recovery Plan (NRP), says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

“Given that traditional Chinese, Malay and Indian medicine are a part of our medical system, the need to seek traditional medicine treatment and supply should be considered on humanitarian grounds,” he said.
