Portuguese Macau government seldom interfered in the affairs of the Chinese society, including the regulations on the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine. There were a few TCM pharmacies in Macau during the colonial period. In 1994, the Portuguese Macau government published the "Decree-Law no. 53/94/M" that officially started to regulate the TCM herb markets. After the sovereign handover, the Macau S.A.R. government also published regulations on the practice of TCM. In 2000, Macau University of Science and Technology and Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine established the Macau College of Traditional Chinese Medicine to offer a degree course in Chinese medicine.
