RCMI - Joint Seminar - Promoting Integrative Medicine in Breast Cancer Care

RCMI was proud to co-organize the “Promoting Integrative Medicine in Breast Cancer Care” seminar, held on March 29, 2026. We were honored to have the Director of RCMI deliver the opening speech, setting an inspiring tone for the event. Supported by the HKSAR Government and the Chinese Medicine Development Fund, the seminar brought together experts and scholars from multiple disciplines, including #WesternMedicine, #ChineseMedicine, #Nursing, #Nutrition, and #Pharmacy, to explore the application and development of integrative approaches in breast cancer treatment. Integrative medicine combines the strengths of Western medicine as the primary approach, complemented by Chinese medicine, to provide comprehensive care for patients. This model emphasizes collaboration and synergy, rather than replacement.
