New protocol combines Western and TCM practices for hypertension

The initiative was launched by Parkway Shenton and Eu Yan San TCM Clinic.

Parkway Shenton and Eu Yan Sang TCM Clinic have partnered to launch a standardised co-management protocol that integrates both Western medical practices and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for hypertension.

The “EYSxPSPL Integrative Clinical Care Protocol for Hypertension” programme adopts a collaborative model between general practitioners and TCM physicians.

The initiative integrates Western tools, such as laboratory testing, with TCM’s four diagnostic methods, pattern differentiation, and treatments.

In addition, the two organisations launched an integrative health screening service, where Eu Yan Sang’s physicians will work alongside Western medicine counterparts to provide insights on constitutional imbalances, lifestyle habits, and energy flow.
