History

A section for TCM was present in the PRC's Central Ministry of Health formed in 1949. The section was gradually extended to have more power, and in 1986 the State Council decided to form a NATCM.[1][2]

The role and composition of NATCM was adjusted in 1998.[3]

A larger change came about in 2018 as the State Council restructured the bureaucracy.[4][5][6]
