From hand-wrapped herbal pills to high-tech production lines, Xizang’s Tibetan medicine industry is racing into the modern era—and Bu Tsamjo, a 2024 May Day national labor medal winner, is at the heart of this change. 🏭 ‘When I started, everything was done by hand,’ says Bu, a production team leader. ‘Now our machines pack 38,000 pills a day!’
Ancient Remedies, Modern Science
Xizang Autonomous Region now boasts 49 public Tibetan medicine institutions, with over 94% of township health centers offering these traditional treatments. 🌄 Thanks to standardized production and government support, therapies once mixed in family kitchens are now FDA-level regulated—and reaching more people than ever.
73 Years of Progress

- 👩⚕️ Equal opportunities across ethnic groups in booming industries
‘It’s not just medicine,’ says a local entrepreneur. ‘From solar farms to smart tourism, Xizang’s writing a new playbook for inclusive growth.’ 📈
