Funds to develop industry

The largest recipient of the National Health and Medical Research Council’s funds to develop the NSW complementary medicine industry was Professor Alan Bensoussan from the UWS Centre for Complementary Medicine Research, who received $590,200 towards a clinical and physiological evaluation of Chinese herbal medicine for irritable bowel syndrome. Professor Bensoussan said two-thirds of Australians were embracing complementary medicine to the tune of up to $2.5 billion annually. A Joint Chair in Traditional Chinese Medicine has been established at the University of Sydney and UWS.
