The Preventive Medicine (TCM) Department ("Zhi Wei Bing Ke") centers on the TCM concept of treating disease before it arises, a philosophy originating from the Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic): prevent before illness, prevent progression once ill, and prevent relapse after recovery. Its core services are health-status identification, assessment and intervention, and it is listed among the hospital's provincial-level key specialties on third-party hospital-information platforms (a standalone official department page is not available). For patients whose check-up reports look normal yet who feel persistently unwell, the department combines modern examinations with TCM conditioning in the same hospital.
Core Services
TCM Check-Up
The four diagnostics — inspection, listening/smelling, inquiry and palpation — combined with a TCM constitution-identification system, TCM meridian detector, arteriosclerosis detector and body-composition analyser.
Nine-Constitution Identification
TCM classifies people into nine constitutions — balanced, phlegm-damp, damp-heat, yin-deficiency, yang-deficiency, qi-deficiency, special (allergic), qi-stagnation and blood-stasis — to set a conditioning direction.
Health-Conditioning Consultation
"Health prescriptions" with individualized plans for exercise, diet, emotional regulation, daily-life conditioning and wellness exercises such as Baduanjin classes.
TCM Intervention
Herbal decoctions, pastes, pellets, pills, powders and teas, plus external therapies including acupuncture, tuina, guasha, cupping, moxibustion, application and fumigation.
Preventive-Treatment Service Chain
A collaborative mechanism linking the department with hospital specialties for integrated assessment, intervention and follow-up across the pre-illness, illness and post-illness stages.
