砂拉越中医师中药联合总会以及砂拉越传统医师与辅助医药联合总会成立于2015年，以促进传统与辅助医学。这些年来，我们也得到了马来西亚卫生部必要的支持和认可，承认中医作为医疗补救措施及治疗方针的一部分，并在全国各地的部分政府医院及私立医院实践传统医学的做法。

传统中医学的精髓一直是世界上最卓越、最有经验的治疗途径。它有可能影响未来现代医学发展方向的知识。

成功的关键在于其功效。一个通俗的中国人说“卓越源于经验。”传统中医学的基础是基于五千多年来的实践和经验。随着新中国于1949年成立，该地区的西医也开始在医疗保健方面起着很大的作用。随着现代（西化）医学的影响增加，导致了“中西医结合”在20世纪50年代末的发展。阐述了生命科学的理论、治疗原理、技术和认识，与传统中医学的基本结构也变得更清晰。最重要的是，传统中医学也开始与现代医学达成共识。

另外，所有传统行医者作为马来西亚中医学专业组织的一员，一直坚持地学习以提高他们的技能与能力。因此，这次的研讨会是一个完整的平台，为我们所有的成员及时了解新的知识，从而在中医业界实际应用。我们欢迎所有的医师、护士、学生、学者和其他专职医疗人员的参与。

感谢组委会为规划一场充满信息性讲座所付出的巨大努力，并结合并结合当地和海外的著名讲师进行这场实际讨论会。毫无疑问，在为期两天的会议中，丰富的知识将对参与者们在各自的领域都是非常宝贵的。

最后，我谨向各位杰出的讲师、砂拉越中医师中药联合总会以及砂拉越传统医师与辅助医药联合总会与成员们、案例研究者、主席、参展单位、赞助商和志愿者表示衷心的谢意，感谢大家的出席使本次的路论坛大会，让我们持续学习路上增色不少。

FEDERATION OF CHINESE MEDICINE AND PHYSICIANS SARAWAK and FEDERATION OF SARAWAK TRADITIONAL PHYSICIANS AND COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE was formed in year 2008 to promote the Traditional and Complementary Medicine. Over the year, we have also got the necessary support and recognition by the Malaysian Ministry of Health to have recognized TCM as part of the medical remedies. Besides, solutions for patients with adoption of the TCM practice also available in selected government and private hospitals throughout the country.

The essence of the traditional Chinese medicine has always been the most advanced and experienced therapeutic approach in the world. It has knowledge that can impact the direction of future modern medical development; still, it is easy to find simple knowledge with mark of times and special cultures.

The key to successful medicine lies in its efficacy. A popular Chinese stated “Excellence is from experience.” The foundation of traditional Chinese medicine is based on over 5,000 years of practice and experiences. With the founding of a new China in 1949, western medicine in the region also began to play a large role in medical care. As modern (westernized) medicine’s impact increased, it led to the development of “integrative medicine” at the end of the 1950s. Theories, therapeutic principles, technologies, and understanding of the life sciences were elaborated, and the basic structure of traditional Chinese medicine also became clearer. Most importantly, traditional Chinese medicine began to reach a common point with modern medicine.

It is paramount that all traditional medicine Practitioners stay true to its’ role as the professional organization for TCM in Malaysia for continual education to enhance their skill and competency. Hence, the conference is an integral platform for all our members to keep abreast on new evidence and practical applications in TCM practice. We welcome the participation of doctors, nurses, physicians, students, academics and other allied health professionals.

Kudos to the Organizing Committee for all their tremendous effort in planning a conference that is full of informative lectures, combined with practical discussion sessions conducted by notable local and overseas faculty. The wealth of knowledge throughout this two-day conference will, no doubt, be invaluable for our delegates in their respective areas of practice.

Lastly, I would like to convey my heartfelt gratitude to all distinguished speakers, FEDERATION OF CHINESE MEDICINE AND PHYSICIANS SARAWAK and FEDERATION OF SARAWAK TRADITIONAL PHYSICIANS AND COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE Council members, case study facilitators, chairpersons, poster presenters, sponsors and volunteers for graciously coming together to make this Conference a truly exceptional continual learning event for all of us.
