China Medical University Hospital (CMUH) in Taichung, Taiwan, is one of the country’s leading medical centers. It is unique in that it grew out of Taiwan’s first university of Chinese medicine. Alongside a modern and advanced array of Western medicine that includes AI technologies, genetic research, and advanced oncology treatments, the hospital also offers an integrative blend of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Patients benefit from the best of both worlds: top-notch Western medical care alongside acupuncture, herbal medicine, and personalized holistic approaches, making CMUH a global health center where East and West meet in healing. The hospital offers training programs for practitioners worldwide and hosts dozens of delegations each year. More information about the hospital can be found here .Why Taiwan?
Taiwan offers a rare opportunity to see a true fusion of East and West within one of the world's most advanced public health systems.

About us:
Lulu Shafrir
A practitioner of Chinese and Japanese medicine since 2019, owner of a private clinic in Tel Aviv and a practitioner at Meir Hospital in the Gastroenterology Department. During my studies, I dreamed of coming to Taiwan to do an internship in a hospital, but then the coronavirus arrived and changed my plans. Two years later, I decided to fly anyway, independently, and visit various clinics throughout Taiwan.And that's where it happened - I fell in love. With the food, the people, the landscapes, and especially with the Chinese medicine tradition that lives and breathes everywhere there. Even then, I knew that my story with Taiwan was just beginning. I wanted to continue learning and being filled with this experience, and also to allow other therapists to experience it for themselves - to taste, see, hear, and deepen the knowledge and inspiration from the heart of Chinese medicine.I personally accompany the delegation, and make sure to combine rich professional content with a colorful, exciting, and inspiring experience - one you will not forget.
