thnic hospitals.

Experts have called for better protection of these medicines and appealed for the establishment of a special office to coordinate the efforts.

"We need to preserve these medicines and seek ways to better use them," said Qin Xunyun, a doctor with the Beijing Dekun Yao Minority Hospital.

"We also need to research the formulations, efficacy, safety and working mechanisms of these medicines," added Qin.

China has more than 200 government-run research centres of minority medicines and 15 private institutes in its hinterland areas like Inner Mongolia, Tibet, Qinghai and Sichuan.

About 150 pharmaceutical firms had been set up to produce the minority medicines last year.
