Due to increased discussion on incorporating traditional medical systems with biomedical systems to provide culturally appropriate care, a closer look at the actual methods of combination is undertaken. In Chapter One, a medical system is defined as including five elements: etiology, pathology, diagnosis, therapy and materia medica. The first two elements comprise theoretical concepts, while the three latter elements comprise the practice of a medical system. An examination of four policy approaches to traditional medicine and the World Health Organization's (WHO's) reasons for endorsing integration of traditional medicine with biomedicine is then undertaken. In the beginning of Chapter Two, a history of traditional Chinese medicine is provided. Results of a field study from a "combination" hospital in Beijing are then reported. The two medical systems in China rarely combine theoretical concepts. Integration in China focuses mostly on a combination of diagnosis, therapy and materia medica. In Chapter Three, the author argues that this is not true integration, and describes socio-political and theoretical hurdles that make integration impossible and undesirable. Finally an "active collaboration" approach to combining medical systems is endorsed as a better way to provide culturally appropriate care.
