Wuhan's first and only traditional Chinese medicine makeshift hospital closed on Tuesday.
During the 26-day operation that began Feb 14, Jiangxia Makeshift Hospital admitted 564 patients, cured 392, and transferred the rest to other hospitals.
"This is the first hospital managed by TCM medical staff in Wuhan for COVID-19 treatment. The result is a great success because we created three records -- no patients went into serious condition from milder symptoms, no one tested positive again after recovery and no medical staff were infected,"said Liu Qingquan, president of the hospital and head of the Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine affiliated with Capital Medical University.
