阿曼苏丹国中医与针灸发展概况

Development of Application of Acupuncture and Moxibustion in the Sultanate of Oman

中医与针灸在阿曼被归为替代医学范畴,已纳入公立医疗机构。设立中医科门诊的公立医院目前有2家,尚无病房。私人中医诊所并不少见,政府正在不断完善对其相应的管理政策。治疗病种以肌肉骨骼系统疾病常见,尤以女性肥胖者居多。阿曼相对于其他阿拉伯国家,对外来文化更包容,政府对针灸亦很重视,这些都使针灸在阿曼有较好的发展空间。

Acupuncture and moxibustion is classified as category of alternative medicine and has been incorporated into the public medical institution in Oman. There are two public hospitals which have set up acupuncture and moxibustion service at present, but only in outpatient department regions. Private clinics of traditional Chinese medicine are not uncommon, and the local government is constantly improving the management policy on it now. The musculoskeletal system diseases are predominant diseases treated by acupuncture and moxibustion, and obesity female is mostly common. Compared with other Arabian countries, Oman is more inclusive to foreign culture and the local government attaches great importance to acupuncture and moxibustion, so there is much better development space for acupuncture and moxibustion in Oman.
