The objective was to study the present scenario, challenges, and future anticipation of traditional Mongolian medicine (TMM) in China. The literature was retrieved using various sources of information such as meetings with TMM experts, research and review articles, national health databases, and government websites and authoritative papers. Health care using TMM, TMM education and research, and the pharmaceutical industry of TMM has been improved by implementing TMM growth policies. TMM has been extensively used for health care in Mongolia and in various regions of China including Beijing. The national education system of China contains a stream of TMM education. There is a yearly increase in research productivity in the field of TMM due to extensive research funding by the government. The rapidly growing pharmaceutical industry of TMM has provided more availability of TMM to more patients. The literature search revealed good preservation and development of TMM in China, urging the need to take steps for the promotion of its spread and development in China and worldwide.
