The new program was launched Friday in Beijing at a seminar on the clinical treatment of human cases of bird flu.
The seminar is aimed at collating and exchanging clinical experience in the medical treatment of bird flu, and discovering more reasonable and effective therapies that will relieve the current high mortality rates in human cases of bird flu.
So far, China has confirmed three human cases of bird flu, with 2 of these cases proving fatal.
Experts at the seminar call on the combined advantages of Chinese traditional medicine and western medical treatment, to design new therapies with Chinese characteristics to treat human cases of bird flu.
