Czech: Chinese medicine moves forward in practice and exploration

When it comes to the Czech republic, many people think of the country of the mole. The Czech republic, or Czech for short, is a landlocked country in central Europe. Its predecessor was the federal republic of Czechoslovakia. In 1993, the Czech republic and Slovakia broke away peacefully and became an independent country. The fertile soil of the Czech republic gave birth to world-class literary masters such as Franz kafka, jaroslav hassek, jaroslav seiffert, and milan kundera.

Meanwhile, the Czech medical system is one of the most advanced in the world. According to the European health consumer index 2016, the Czech healthcare system ranks 13th among European countries, second only to Sweden and second only to the UK. This good performance is due to the Czech standard of procedures and a mature division of the medical and health service system.

The Czech health system is compulsory, with salaried workers paying at least 13.5 percent of their salaries each month, while those without income are paid by the state. Under the coverage of such a sound medical and health system, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the Czech republic still has its unique and relatively mild treatment methods and remarkable treatment effects. Although it is still difficult to fully promote and be incorporated into the Czech healthcare system, the role of Chinese medicine has been recognized by more and more Czech medical workers, and accepted by more and more Czech people, who actively contact, learn and disseminate this ancient medicine from the east due to witnessing the curative effect of Chinese medicine.

In particular, acupuncture has been widely used in neurological diseases in the Czech republic. The magical therapeutic effect of acupuncture has led more and more medical practitioners in the Czech republic to enter the ancient magical and charming field of traditional Chinese medicine from a small silver needle, and also played a leading role in the further promotion and dissemination of traditional Chinese medicine.

The Czech republic is one of the countries with systematic promotion of Chinese medicine, thanks to the unremitting efforts of Dr. Bendova, founder of the first Chinese medicine school of the Czech republic and the Czech Chinese medicine society. In 1990, Dr. Bendova founded the Czech "first school of Chinese medicine", which invited experts from China, France and other countries to teach. The university offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses in acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition and massage, which provide impetus for the promotion of Chinese medicine in the Czech republic and a channel for local people who are interested in and love Chinese medicine.

In 2017, Dr. Bendova participated in the first international training of traditional Chinese medicine. After returning to China, she published the summary of what she learned in the course, hoping that more Czech doctors could understand the latest clinical progress of traditional Chinese medicine. For the future development and promotion of traditional Chinese medicine in the Czech republic, Dr. Bendova hopes that the two sides can more on the TCM degree education docking, with the Chinese academy of traditional Chinese medicine jointly run schools, to improve the professional strength and influence. At the same time, Dr. Bendova actively promoted the legislation of traditional Chinese medicine in the Czech republic. In 2017, with the joint efforts of her and many doctors, the Czech republic issued the non-practicing Chinese medicine act, and Dr. Bendova firmly believes that the development of Chinese medicine in the Czech republic will definitely go further.

Panama: meeting Chinese medicine at the best pension destination

Panama, the southernmost country in Central America, is adjacent to the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean sea. It is known as "Hong Kong of America" and "dubai of America". It is the most developed country in Central America.

Due to the generous treatment of domestic retirees in the aspects of transportation, medical care and living, panama was once ranked as the world's best pension place by American international life magazine, and ranked the 3rd in the world's best medical country, which is related to the natural scenery and medical and health system of panama.

In the early 20th century, the completion and navigation of the panama canal promoted the economic and cultural exchanges between Asia, Europe and the American continent. As an international aviation and shipping hub in the 1970 s, panama, open door, a large number of attracting overseas investment and immigration, the increasing number of Chinese, especially since the 1980 s, a group of high levels of traditional Chinese medicine doctors from China moved to panama in succession, make traditional Chinese medicine is growing in panama, spread across the country.

Panamanian Chinese doctors of traditional Chinese medicine practice cautiously and use medicine properly, not only excellent medical skills, but also treat people kindly, which is welcomed by people from all walks of life in panama, for the doctors of traditional Chinese medicine in panama won credit. They prefer to use authentic Chinese medicinal materials from mainland China, which is not only superior in quality but also effective.

The flourishing of Panamanian traditional Chinese medicine industry also brings the prosperity of local traditional Chinese medicine market. At present, in the Panamanian town streets, commercial areas, Chinese medicine shops gradually increase, many are hong kong-owned, taiwan-owned or foreign Chinese capital large and medium-sized companies. Both TCM and TCM have gained a certain popularity in panama.

As early as 1915, traditional Chinese medicine emerged at the panama Pacific international fair. To celebrate the opening of the panama canal, China made its first public appearance on the world stage as a first-time exhibitor at an international fair. The Chinese exhibits have won a total of 1,218 MEDALS, ranking the top of the list.

Subsequently, more and more doctors of traditional Chinese medicine, appointed by the state organization, went to panama for free medical treatment, where they were not only welcomed by the local overseas Chinese, but also attracted a large number of local residents. "I didn't expect Chinese medicine to be so popular in Latin America. In one day in panama, we saw more than 300 patients for 13 hours. "Said a Chinese doctor proudly.

At present, panama's TCM work mainly focuses on clinical medical treatment, and there is still no in-depth study on TCM research, education, academic exchange and other aspects, which need to be further developed. Through continuous learning, Dr. Almanza hopes to expand the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, organically combine traditional Chinese medicine, nutrition, physiology and other disciplines, and develop new approaches and new health care system with innovative ideas, so as to provide services for the people of panama. At present, the whole Chinese medicine system in panama is constantly improving and enriching, and has begun to develop in a high-level and diversified way. In the past, the small clinics and small wards, which respectively used to be scattered, have gradually gathered together to form a group type, central type of medical institutions and units, so as to comprehensive management, unified external. The laws such as "Chinese day" and "Chinese language teaching" adopted by the Panamanian government are very beneficial to the development of Chinese medicine in the local area, and the friendly exchanges between the two countries also provide a good platform for Chinese medicine. We should seize this opportunity to disseminate and promote Chinese medicine, so that more people can benefit from it.

Algeria: let acupuncture renew friendship

Algeria, located in northern Africa, is the largest country in Africa. The great east-west border is the Taylor atlas mountains and the Sahara atlas mountains. The Sahara atlas mountains are south of the Sahara desert, accounting for about 85 percent of the country. It is not hard to think of the Sahara as the story of the Sahara by sanmao, a famous writer. In this way, we seem to get closer to algias.

Because of its unique geography, oil and gas are Algeria's mainstay industries. Algeria has a relatively developed health care system compared to many other African countries. Current, its countryman all can enjoy free medical treatment system, see a doctor to need to pay a few registered fee to be able to, be in hospital charge to exempt entirely. The national health insurance program covers 90 percent of the entire population. The development of its medicine has been mainly through cooperation with other European countries, especially France, to encourage research and development. The government has invested heavily in training medical staff, and medical schools have begun to produce large Numbers of doctors, and Algeria has a number of teaching medical schools covering medicine, pharmacy and dentistry.

In 1958, Algeria and China established diplomatic ties and bilateral friendly cooperative relations continued to develop. By 1963, the Chinese government sent its first medical team to Africa to Algeria. At that time, acupuncture did not exist in these first medical teams. It was not until 1997 when the second foreign aid team was reinstated, at the request of the Algerian government, that acupuncture became a new medical team, which was also the only one of the medical teams with the background of traditional Chinese medicine. Today, acupuncture has been spreading in Algeria for 21 years. As one of the traditional treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is very popular among the general public.

At present, although Algeria has private TCM treatment centers run by local doctors, which can provide patients with acupuncture and cupping therapy, there is still a long way to go for Algeria's TCM development due to the lack of systematic learning and clinical experience, as well as the lack of TCM cultural background.

In Algeria, most TCM treatments are provided by visiting Chinese doctors. Since 2011, the ministry of health of Algeria has signed cooperation projects with a number of hospitals in China. A number of hospitals in Algeria receive visits from Chinese doctors and an average of 50 Chinese doctors every two years.

2014 china-arab two countries signed the agreement about Chinese medical work in Algeria book points out that in Algeria acupuncture treatment center will be set up, and by the Chinese acupuncturist in Albania medical staff are trained, not only can enhance cooperation and exchanges in the field of health, the two sides more become one of the standardized process of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and moxibustion in the countries.

This time, Dr. Iman from Algeria, who attended the "international advanced training class on the latest development of clinical practice and research of traditional Chinese medicine", had some contact and learning on traditional Chinese medicine treatment techniques such as acupuncture and cupping, and even experienced the effect of small needle knife, a new technique combining western anatomy medicine with traditional Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion.

In his opinion, attending relevant courses organized by local Chinese doctors can help him gain more knowledge about TCM from the source. Of course, the growing combination of modern technology and western medicine can make a great contribution to human health. He hoped that by attending this training course, he could know more about traditional Chinese medicine and further, bring back the latest research progress of traditional Chinese medicine for domestic doctors, and let more people know about the new era of traditional Chinese medicine.

The small silver needle, as a link, closely linked the two countries, has written a new chapter in china-argentina friendship and contributed to the health of the Afghan people and the whole world.

Iraq: the need for TCM is urgent

What prompted you to learn about Iraq, oil, war, or the ruins of the ancient city of Babylon, known as the hanging gardens?

Iraq is located in southwestern Asia, northeast of the Arabian peninsula, and the oil industry is its economic pillar. Dependent on oil exports for revenue, Iraq established a hospital-based, capital-intensive, centralized, free health system in the 1970s that was once among the most advanced in the Middle East.

But, from 1980 to 2003 years of war, combined with international embargo and economic sanctions, such as policy, department of health resources in Iraq was forced to a large number of transfer, serious public health budget cuts, coupled with soaring prices, finance dried up, reduce the medical staff salary, medical facilities, thousands of doctors and nurses were forced to flee, Iraq's health care system is riddled with holes. The need for a fix is urgent.

Years of war, the lack of medical and medicine in the Iraqi ministry of health to focus on the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. In particular, TCM acupuncture provided more convenience for local people and promoted the development of TCM acupuncture in Iraq. But for Iraqi doctors, studying abroad is the only way to earn a degree in traditional Chinese medicine, especially acupuncture, and only a handful have the opportunity to study in China.

In 2000, Iraq opened its first TCM center in the capital Baghdad, with nine beds and four doctors, treating diseases including back pain, arthritis and sciatica, mainly by acupuncture, cupping and electromagnetic therapy. After the war ended in 2003, Iraq's health ministry began sending more doctors to China for training. In 2014, the ministry of health in Iraq set up new TCM centers in Baghdad and other provinces, most of which are acupuncture centers.

The war is a double-edged sword. Due to the political reform and the turbulent situation caused by the war, it has in turn affected the further expansion and development of the TCM center, and also put forward stricter requirements for the TCM treatment.

Dr. Birwari from Iraq was trained and qualified in Germany. In order to promote the further development of TCM in Iraq, she suggested: first of all, both sides should strengthen mutual visits and cultural exchanges to create a solid foundation for TCM's development in Iraq. In addition, the scholarship system for foreign students should be improved to provide economic assistance to Iraqi students studying in China. Furthermore, in order to accelerate the development of Chinese medicine in Iraq as a whole, rather than just acupuncture and cupping, it is also a good way to send Chinese medicine experts to teach in Iraq and manage the center of Iraqi Chinese medicine. Of course, Iraqi doctors must also receive more systematic medical training such as internal and external women and children.
