Abstract

The Traditional and Complementary Medicine (TCM) law in Malaysia needs to be revised to address TCM issues. The inadequacies may impact the quality of the TCM services delivery and the safety of the practitioner, patients, and the public. This study comparatively explored laws in Malaysia and China to recommend improvement on Malaysia's current legal position. The study adopts a qualitative method comprising a doctrinal study and content analysis approach on the healthcare and TCM-related legal framework. The expected outcome of this study will be significant to the government and policymakers.
