Two MTK doctors receive maiden registration certificate

As per TibetNet April 17, five doctors were awarded maiden registration certificates by the Central Council of Tibetan Medicine during its second founding anniversary meeting held in Dharamsala.

Dr Pema Dorjee, the Director of the Sorig Literary Research Department, and Dr Tsewang Tamdin, the Deputy Director of the Men-Tsee-Khang, were the two amongst the five recipients from the Men-Tsee-Khang.

As it is said that all material phenomena animate or inanimate contain relative proportions of five elements as their material basis. In the Tibetan medical view, these great elements are also known as cosmic energies. Owing to the importance of five elements in Tibetan medicine, the council has decided to award five doctors the introductory registration certificates. Dr Pema Dorjee was awarded this certificate on being the first Chairman of the council. Likewise, in recognition of the Tibetan Medical & Astro. College, the council awarded Dr Tsewang Tamdin who graduated from this institute with the registration certificate to represent all the other graduates from the institute.

The council also welcomed all the other doctors who have been registered to it to collect their registration certificates.
