ABSTRACT

The rural health service is the important part of China’s health initiative and improving the rural grass-root health technical capabilities and service level marks the strategic initiatives and present needs to promote the rural health service development. The Traditional Chinese Medicine ( TCM) has a broad and solid mass base in rural areas and concentrating on the promotion of the TCM’s appropriate technologies constitutes an important way to strive for the rural health services development. Gangu and Jingning Counties of the Gansu province fully use the Health XI Project platform to promote the TCM’s appropriate technology application and explore the service model. With the achieved good experiment results, effective development of the TCM services is promoted.
