中医药在巴基斯坦伊斯兰共和国的现状及发展策略探究

The status-quo and development strategy of traditional Chinese medicine in Islamic Republic of Pakistan

中国和巴基斯坦伊斯兰共和国(以下简称“巴基斯坦”)历史往来悠久。中医药在巴基斯坦主要以中医综合诊疗为主,辅以中药治疗,并不局限于针灸治疗。发展有利因素在于政府支持和民众欢迎、两国传统医学体系的共性、中医治疗的优势、中药应用带来的机遇;困境在于当地政府未完全放开对中医药的引入、民众优先选择南亚传统医学、华人医生需克服语言及文化障碍等。可从推进医疗与教育的合作、加强与民间机构的合作,以及加大中医药在当地华人群体中的影响力来推动中医药在巴基斯坦的发展。

The friendship between Islamic Republic of Pakistan(Pakistan)and China has been long.The TCM treatment in Pakistan mainly contains comprehensive diagnosis,not limited to acupuncture and supplemented by Chinese Materia Medica.The favorable factors for the development lie in the support of the local government and the popularity among the public,the common features of traditional medical systems of the two countries,the efficacies of traditional Chinese medicine treatment,and the opportunities came along by the application of traditional Chinese medicine.The development dilemma lies in the partial introduction of traditional Chinese medicine,preference for local traditional medicines among the public,as well as Chinese doctors’language and cultural barriers.The development of traditional Chinese medicine in Pakistan can be promoted by enhancing medical and educational cooperation,strengthening cooperation with non-governmental organizations,and expanding the impact of traditional Chinese medicine on the local Chinese community.
