The World Health Organization plans to incorporate "traditional medicine" into the next revision of its International Classification of Diseases-Version 11 (ICD-11). If traditional medicine is included in ICD-11, it is definitely an epoch-making issue. The expected result is the International Classification of Traditional Medicine, China, Japan and Korea Version (ICTM-CJK). The intention of the ICTM project is not only beneficial for traditional medical components, but also might be beneficial for Western biomedicine. For this shared purpose, China, Japan and Korea must understand the meaning of this project and collaborate to develop it.
世界卫生组织计划将“传统医学”纳入其《国际疾病分类第11版》（ICD-11）的下一版修订中。如果传统医学被纳入ICD-11，这绝对是一个具有划时代意义的问题。预期结果将是《传统医学国际分类，中国、日本和韩国版》（ICTM-CJK）。ICTM项目的意图不仅对传统医学组成部分有益，对西方生物医学也可能有益。为了这个共同目标，中国、日本和韩国必须理解该项目的意义并合作开展该项目。
