Traditional Chinese Medicine Included in the International Classification of Diseases

SHIJIAZHUANG CITY, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In 2019, the World Health Assembly approved the 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases, which for the first time included the traditional Chinese medicine inside.
