It is over three decades since the hospital's Chinese Medicine Diagnostics Division was set up in 1987. The judgment of clinical doctors of Chinese medicine is primarily based on Chinese medicine diagnosis, with the main contents being the four methods of diagnosis and the eight principal syndromes. The former consist of observation, auscultation and olfaction, interrogation, and pulse feeling and palpation, while the latter comprise yin and yang, exterior and interior, cold and heat, and hypofunction and hyperfunction.
