Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been widely applied in treating novel coronavirus infected patients in China.
WUHAN, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- The first batch of 23 patients walked out of a temporary hospital featuring traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Wednesday in Wuhan, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in central China's Hubei Province.
The makeshift hospital in Wuhan's Jiangxia District was transformed from a sports center.
Medical staff from 20 TCM hospitals of five provinces took charge of the infected patients in the hospital with support from the district TCM hospital. It is Wuhan's first temporary hospital that followed the treatment and management mode of TCM hospitals in China.
