Features: This book is a large-scale medical reference work, based on the world-famous medical dictionary Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary and using the medical terms published by the National Committee for the Compilation of Technical Terms as the naming basis. It has been significantly revised compared to the first edition. The book collects terminology from over 60 disciplines in the fields of medicine and healthcare, with approximately 200,000 entries, an increase of 30% over the first edition. The original Pinyin romanization section has been removed, allowing the content and information volume to increase by 30% without increasing the word count. The Chinese-English Medical Dictionary is one of five major medical dictionaries compiled by the Ministry of Health, including the Chinese-English, Chinese-French, Chinese-German, Chinese-Japanese, and Chinese-Russian editions. Since its publication in 1987, the first edition of The Chinese-English Medical Dictionary has been reprinted multiple times and has received praise from readers. After 16 years of publication, with the rapid development of medical science and technology and the expansion of research fields, new disciplines, theories, concepts, and technologies have continuously emerged, leading to the creation of a large number of new terms. To adapt to the development of medical science and technology and meet the needs of readers both domestically and internationally, the writing committee for the second edition of The Chinese-English Medical Dictionary was established under the leadership of the Ministry of Health in 2000 and began the revision work for the first edition.
