The traditional Chinese medicine, electroacupuncture, on enhanced recovery after surgery in the "Healthy China 2030" plan: More robust understanding.

Abstract

In 2016, the outline for "Healthy China 2030" plan was issued, and it put forward clear requirements for vigorously inheriting and developing traditional Chinese medicine, which should be an important part of the domestic healthcare system. Electroacupuncture, as a complementary therapy, has significant efficacy and potential in the field of enhanced recovery after surgery based on current available evidence. Despite some challenges, electroacupuncture is expected to play a greater role in healthcare practice through policy support and technological innovation in the future under the "Healthy China 2030" plan.
