Announcement on Raising Exhibition Items about History of Chinese Medical Association

The Chinese Medical Association (CMA) stands as the largest national-level medical and academic organization in China. Founded in 1915, it is a non-profit, academic organization voluntarily formed by Chinese science and technology medical professionals. Over the past century, the CMA has grown into a pivotal social force in the development of medical science, technology, and healthcare in China. Today, the CMA boasts 88 specialty societies, 677,000 members, and 478 professional sub-society groups. It has also joined 42 international or regional medical organizations and maintains close cooperation with medical associations across provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, and deputy-provincial level cities. The CMA publishes 186 paper and electronic medical journals and hosts nearly 200 international and national high-level medical academic conferences annually.

To fully showcase the historical trajectory of the CMA from its inception to its current leading position in the medical field, and to truly reflect the excellent culture of the CMA and the striving-forward spirit of Chinese medical science and technology professionals, the CMA has decided to organize an exhibition about its history. The collection of exhibition items is now open to the public. The following details outline the scale of the exhibition items and the methods for their collection.
