Walking into the production workshop of Xizang Ganlu Tibetan Medicine Industry Group Co., Ltd., amid the roaring sound of machines in the pill-making section, Tsering Tsomo evenly sprinkled the powder into the machine and then grabbed a handful of pills to check the powder status. Tsering Tsomo is the director of the company's production workshop and a deputy to the National People's Congress.

In 2002, just graduated from vocational school, Tsering Tsomo, who had a deep love for traditional culture, resolutely chose to work in the Tibetan medicine production industry, and has been doing so for 22 years. In these years, She has transitioned from a grassroots employee to a workshop director, and has also witnessed the transformation of the Tibetan medicine industry from manual pharmaceutical production to integrated mechanical pharmaceutical production.

In 2023, Tsering Tsomo was elected as a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress, marking a significant turning point in her life. During her previous participation in the National People's Congress, Tsering Tsomo delivered a speech on fostering innovation in Tibetan medicine science and technology and converting its advantageous achievements into practical applications, and supporting the high-quality development of the Tibetan medicine industry.

"I think that the focus of Tibetan medicine should be on the commercial development of unmarketed formulations, the exploration of core efficacy for already marketed varieties, and the standardization and patent protection of key processing techniques for Tibetan medicines. I believe that with the support of the national policy and the continuous empowerment of science and technology, the Tibetan medicine industry will surely usher in a better tomorrow." Tsering Tsomo said confidently.
