Hong Kong is set to open its first traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospital in 2025. Alternative medicine has had a steady stream of local supporters in the last century, but nowhere near the level seen of Western medicine in the former British colony. Misconceptions, lack of government support, as well as costs have both contributed to TCM’s stagnant popularity, while previous attempts to open a hospital were plagued by disagreements. A Covid-era government push, however, has led to more recent converts.
