Tibetan medicine remains an active part of healthcare in Tibet's Lhasa region, as documented during a government-organized visit for foreign journalists to the Xizang Autonomous Region Hospital of Tibetan Medicine in July 2026. Physicians including neurologist Ciren Deji and physician Gama treat patients using traditional therapies, while the Xizang Gansu Tibetan Medicine Co. Ltd produces and packages herbal medicines for clinical use. Women continue spiritual practices including circumambulation around statues of Tibetan medical masters outside the hospital.
