Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating historical account of the state of medicine in China at the turn of the 20th century. The author, a member of the Rockefeller Foundation's China Medical Commission, explores the complexities of medical practice in the country, examining the interplay of traditional Chinese medicine and the burgeoning influence of Western medical methods. The book delves into the different approaches to healthcare, highlighting the practices and beliefs of both Chinese native healers and Western-trained practitioners. It also examines the growing role of missionary medical schools in introducing Western medical education to China. The book paints a vivid picture of the challenges faced by the Chinese medical system at the time, including the prevalence of widespread diseases, the lack of a robust public health infrastructure, and the limited availability of qualified medical professionals. However, the author also explores signs of change and progress, particularly in the adoption of Western medicine and the government's growing interest in public health initiatives. This book offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal period in China's medical history, revealing the tensions and transformations that shaped the country's approach to health and medicine.
