Kulun Mongolian Medicine

Kulun Mongolian Medicine

　　The China Federation of Literary and Art Circles issued an official document designating Kulun Banner as the "Hometown of Chinese Mongolian Medicine Culture" and decided to establish the "Chinese Mongolian Medicine Culture Inheritance and Protection Base."

　　Kulun Banner is a multi-ethnic settlement predominantly inhabited by the Mongolian people, with a long history of Mongolian medicine development. Since modern times, successive Party committees and governments in the banner have placed great emphasis on the development of Mongolian medicine. In 1957, the first Mongolian medicine factory in China was established here, which has gradually grown into a modern enterprise designated for the production and operation of ethnic minority medicine products. It integrates Mongolian medicine production, management, and scientific research. Currently, the factory produces 102 varieties across 8 major series of Mongolian medicine—the largest range among similar manufacturers nationwide. Its product sales network covers over 30 large and medium-sized cities across China. To further promote the widespread use and benefit of Mongolian medicine products, in 1978, the banner also built the Kulun Banner Mongolian Hospital, covering an area of 17,000 square meters. Since its establishment, the hospital has consistently adhered to a focus on Mongolian medicine and Mongolian medical practices, combined with integrated Mongolian-Chinese medicine approaches. It has now developed into a national second-class Grade A specialized hospital integrating medical treatment, teaching, research, and preventive healthcare, serving over 100,000 patients annually.

　　While actively promoting the development of Mongolian medicine, Kulun Banner also launched the Mongolian Medicine Capacity Expansion and Mongolian Medicine Museum project in 2012, with a total investment of 180 million yuan. The banner has successively introduced normative documents such as the "Kulun Banner Implementation Plan for Promoting Innovative Development of Mongolian Medicine Culture," the "Kulun Banner Mongolian Medicine Cultural Construction Implementation Plan," and the "Kulun Banner Mongolian Medicine Production Skills Competition Plan." These efforts aim to vigorously cultivate technical talent and inheritors in Mongolian medicine, regularly carry out activities such as basic theoretical research on Mongolian medicine, clinical research on Mongolian medicine, comprehensive Mongolian medicine knowledge competitions, Mongolian medicine testing comparisons, and Mongolian medicine production skills competitions. These initiatives continuously drive the inheritance and development of Mongolian medicine culture and improve the service level of the Mongolian medicine industry.
