The practitioners of traditional Mongolian medicine want more people to know about their healers' heritage, and they want to take it abroad.
In February last year, a six-member delegation traveled to the United Nations headquarters in New York and attended an international forum organized by the World Health Organization, where its members delivered a speech on the function and role China's TMM has played in the lives of urban and rural residents.
The delegation was led by Ulaan, director of the State-owned Inner Mongolia International Mongolian Hospital that opened in Hohhot in April 2012. It is currently listed among the country's top hospitals, and almost 400,000 patients were treated in 2013, according to Ulaan.
