The President of the Vietnam Association of Traditional Medicine, Mr. Truong Viet Binh, emphasized that the theory of Lac pathology is a very important doctrine. As a key academic foundation, the International Forum of Lac pathology has led the pioneering research trend for many years, promoting the connection between theoretical innovation and clinical practice.

“We are delighted to see the theory of Lac disease continuously being effectively promoted under the endorsement of modern science. Its systematic approach and unique effectiveness in preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other diseases is a successful example for the modernization of traditional medicine in many countries, including Vietnam,” said Mr. Truong Viet Binh.

He expressed his hope that in the future, he would develop deeper and more extensive cooperation with research institutions in China and other countries to jointly conduct academic research and share knowledge on Lac disease.

Vice Principal of the Vietnam Academy of Traditional Medicine, Mr. Doan Quang Huy said that the theory of Lac disease is increasingly being developed and perfected, with many innovative achievements of great scientific value, contributing to the modernization of traditional medicine on a global scale.

"The Academy is committed to integrating Lac disease research results into the curriculum and research training system, encouraging lecturers and students to conduct in-depth research to contribute to promoting innovation in traditional medicine," said Associate Professor Doan Quang Huy.

The theory of Luo disease has a long history, originating from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, the concept of Luo meridians was first established, laying the foundation for the theory of meridians. Through many generations of clinical practice, the theory of Luo disease has gradually formed with its own characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine.

Today, the theory of Luo disease continues to be developed and becomes a model for the inheritance and innovation of traditional medicine. Under the guidance of prominent experts such as Professor Wu Yiling and more than 40 years of research, the classical academic thinking on Luo disease has been combined with modern medical achievements to form a new field of study called Luo disease in Chinese medicine with two main directions: the theory of Qi and Meridians.

Ms. Tu Xuan Ba, Deputy Secretary General of the World Federation of Traditional Medicine Associations, emphasized that the Chinese Government always attaches importance to the development of traditional medicine, continuously increases support and issues many policies to promote high-quality development of this field.

Not only has the national key laboratory for innovation and transformation of Luobei theory been established, the field of Luobei Chinese Medicine has also been included in the list of key national disciplines. Many high-quality evidence-based research works have been published in the world's leading medical journals such as the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Nature Medicine and European Heart Journal.

Ms. Tu Xuan Ba, Deputy Secretary General of the World Federation of Traditional Medicine Associations, spoke.

She expressed her hope that this year's forum will continue to promote academic exchanges, international scientific and technological cooperation, and the development of global standards, to jointly develop modern traditional medicine and contribute to the common health community of humanity.

Mr. Wu Guoquan emphasized that China always attaches importance to inheriting, innovating and strengthening international cooperation in the field of traditional medicine. This forum is not only an important platform for academic exchange on Lac disease, but also an important opportunity to promote cooperation between Vietnam and China.

The Chinese Embassy in Vietnam will continue to play a bridging role, supporting research institutes, universities, hospitals and enterprises of the two countries to expand multifaceted cooperation, jointly promote the modernization and internationalization of traditional medicine, and contribute to building a common health community for mankind.
