Parkway Shanghai announced on Thursday that two renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctors from Shanghai Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine will regularly provide integrated Chinese and Western health management services to both local and international patients at its Parkway Medi-Centre Xintiandi in downtown Shanghai.

They will also provide acupuncture, massage, and herbal medicine therapy to respond to patients' needs in sub-health management, cardiovascular diseases, post-operative rehabilitation, and joint and bone health, aiming to enrich Shanghai's international medical tourism services and help further promote TCM culture globally.

Parkway Shanghai is the operating entity of IHH Healthcare, one of the global leading multinational healthcare services networks, on the Chinese mainland.

Li Yunyan, CEO of clinic operations at Parkway Shanghai, said with the upgrade of health concepts, there is a rising demand among both domestic and international populations for TCM approaches to preventive treatment, chronic disease management, as well as rehabilitation and wellness.

"In the future, Parkway Shanghai will leverage its international medical network, standardized service system, and direct insurance billing advantages, combined with the top TCM experts and resources from Yueyang Hospital, to provide professional and efficient integrated Chinese and Western medical services in a comfortable and convenient international medical environment for both domestic and foreign clients," she said.

A TCM cultural experience event was held on the same day where doctors from various departments provided TCM consultations, as well as acupuncture and massages to guests from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, Malaysia, and Egypt. Among them were foreign tourists currently visiting Shanghai.

Assma, a 33-year-old from France, was among the participants in the event. She has been living in Shanghai for a year.

"I tried TCM before and found it to be gentler and greener compared to Western medicine. TCM helped alleviate my gastrointestinal issues, which Western medicine failed to do," she said.
