China attaches importance to supporting the inheritance and development of Tibetan medicine, said a white paper issued Friday by the State Council Information Office.
The University of Tibetan Medicine has trained more than 7,000 professionals in this field, said the document titled "Tibet Since 1951: Liberation, Development and Prosperity."
There are 44 public Tibetan medical institutions in Tibet Autonomous Region, where about 94 percent of township health centers and 42 percent of village health clinics provide Tibetan medicine services, the white paper said.
