The first Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) association for Chinese doctors in Germany was founded in the eastern German city of Dresden on Saturday.

The founding ceremony has attracted over 80 guests, including TCM doctors, representatives of other TCM associations and people from China and Germany who are interested in TCM.

According to Cen Chunhua, head of the association, TCM was introduced to Germany in the 1950s and has made great contributions to the well being of German people, but most of the Chinese TCM doctors are only allowed to practice as naturopathy physicians in Germany nowadays.

"Our aim is to improve the status of TCM in Germany and guarantee the legal rights of Chinese TCM doctors." said Cen.
