中医药在突尼斯的发展现状及策略探讨

Development status and strategy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Tunisia

中国与突尼斯交流频繁,关系良好。突尼斯拥有非洲乃至阿拉伯国家中最大的中医药医疗中心,中医药在当地的发展具有很大潜力。通过检索突尼斯卫生部、中华人民共和国商务部西亚非洲司与中国驻突尼斯使馆经商处等信息与法律法规,总结并分析中医药在突尼斯的发展现状、立法与药品准入情况、双边合作现况及市场潜力与风险,发现针灸疗法在突尼斯传播较为广泛,当地严格控制中药来源,使中草药疗法开展受限。中医药在突尼斯的发展应立足于两国良好关系的优势上,积极获得政府支持,以针灸为突破口,丰富合作形式,加强中医药文化宣传,鼓励并发展中医药产业。
