Abstract

Objective : This study was aimed to review the Act on the Promotion of Korean Medicine and Pharmaceuticals. Method : We searched document about the Act on the Promotion of Korean Medicine and Pharmaceuticals. We used Korean Law Information Center(https://www.law.gov.kr) to find the revision of the act. Results : We looked at the current status of the revision of the Act on the Promotion of Korean Medicine and Pharmaceuticals, and the law was revised four times in total. Through the revision of the law, the definition of Korean medical practice was not only expanded, but also the establishment and role of National Institute of Korean Medicine Development were extended. Specific descriptions of Korean medicine technology will be needed in the future, and laws that are less effective should be revised and the role of National Institute of Korean Medicine Development should be further strengthened. Conclusion : For the future of Korean medicine, in-depth consideration is needed on how to foster oriental medicine.
