Chinese Medicine Regulatory Office

In the 2015 Policy Address, the Government announced the planning and development of a testing centre for Chinese medicines to be managed by the Department of Health (DH). The testing centre, named as the Government Chinese Medicines Testing Institute (GCMTI), was set up in March 2017. The GCMTI specialises in the testing of and scientific research on Chinese medicines with a view to setting internationally recognised reference standards for the safety, quality and testing methods of Chinese medicines.

Pending the establishment of the permanent premises of the GCMTI, the DH has set up a temporary institute in the Hong Kong Science Park.
