How can the Chinese Traditional Chinese Medicine Anti epidemic Medical Team in Cambodia create a new model for foreign aid? Task | China | Medical Team

In January 2022, China and Cambodia signed an agreement between the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine of China and the Ministry of Health of Cambodia on dispatching traditional Chinese medicine anti epidemic medical teams to work in Cambodia. According to the agreement, China will dispatch a traditional Chinese medicine anti epidemic medical team to Cambodia.

What is the special background and significance of this aid mission to Cambodia? What role does traditional Chinese medicine play in assisting Cambodia in its fight against the epidemic? What unique foreign aid model has the Chinese medicine anti epidemic medical team created in Cambodia? China News Agency's "East West Question" recently interviewed Fan Maorong, the captain of the Chinese Traditional Chinese Medicine Anti epidemic Medical Team in Cambodia.

The summary of the interview transcript is as follows:

Fan Maorong, China News Agency: The COVID-19 has broken out, seriously threatening human health. In order to implement the important instructions of Chinese leaders on strengthening international cooperation and overseas promotion of traditional Chinese medicine in the fight against the epidemic, as well as the results of the video meeting between the leaders of China and Cambodia, the first batch of Chinese aid to Cambodia's traditional Chinese medicine anti epidemic medical team rushed to Cambodia in January 2022. This is the first traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) anti epidemic medical team dispatched by the Chinese national level to foreign countries. During the peak period of the epidemic, they enhanced Cambodia's ability to cope with large-scale outbreaks and set an example for international cooperation in the fight against the epidemic.

The Chinese side has also formulated a three-step work mechanism for the orderly connection of the "Advance Group, Short term Expert Group, and Long term Medical Team": January to March 2022 is the task period of the Chinese Aid to Cambodia Traditional Chinese Medicine Anti Epidemic Advance Group, March to May 2022 is the task period of the Chinese Aid to Cambodia Traditional Chinese Medicine Anti Epidemic Expert Group, and May 2022 to May 2023 is the task period of the Chinese Aid to Cambodia Traditional Chinese Medicine Anti Epidemic Medical Team. This working mechanism is unprecedented in China's foreign medical aid missions implemented in other countries and regions in the past.

Another notable feature is that our medical team has obtained overseas medical qualifications for the first time, and through a "package plan", a large number of Chinese medicine granules, traditional Chinese and Western medicines, clinical treatment equipment, and suitable technologies with Chinese characteristics in the aid materials have been granted access qualifications, making important explorations for the legal practice and development of Chinese medicine overseas.

Through the aforementioned working mechanism, traditional Chinese medicine has steadily taken root in Cambodia and set a benchmark for its overseas development.

Fan Maorong from China News Agency: Traditional Chinese medicine has a profound influence in countries in the Lancang Mekong region. The Thai government declared the legalization of traditional Chinese medicine in 2000. The successful opening of the above-mentioned traditional Chinese medicine outpatient clinic is another milestone achievement in the deep development of traditional Chinese medicine in the Lancang Mekong region. Our medical team is fully licensed to practice, becoming the first Chinese medicine medical team with professional qualifications overseas, ensuring substantial medical services overseas and exploring the best model for future deep cooperation in the medical field between China and Cambodia.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a comprehensive medical field. Our team has established a traditional Chinese medicine outpatient clinic at the Kamma China Cambodia Friendship Hospital in Cambodia, creating a demonstration hospital medical system that combines traditional Chinese and Western medicine. We are gradually spreading this model to other medical institutions, laying a solid foundation for the development of traditional Chinese medicine in the local area. As Cambodia's first appointment based medical clinic, this traditional Chinese medicine clinic brings a new medical experience to local patients, guides the public to change their medical habits, and lays the foundation for building a high-quality traditional Chinese medicine brand.

At present, the Traditional Chinese Medicine outpatient department has become the "star outpatient department" of Coasma China Cambodia Friendship Hospital: the outpatient volume has steadily ranked first in the hospital, with over 16000 people so far. The rate of follow-up visits in traditional Chinese medicine has increased from 21% to 56% today, and many members of the royal family and government officials are regularly seeking follow-up visits in traditional Chinese medicine clinics. The proportion of Cambodian patients has rapidly increased, from the initial 15% to the current 43%.

Fan Maorong from China News Agency: Cultivating local talents in traditional Chinese medicine for Cambodia is an important task of our medical team. As early as the formulation of our foreign aid plan, we included traditional Chinese medicine technology training and increased the training of local traditional Chinese medicine talents, committed to "teaching them to fish".

Kosma China Cambodia Friendship Hospital actively promotes local medical staff to participate in traditional Chinese medicine training and learning. The Cambodian Traditional Chinese Medicine Anti epidemic Medical Team provides careful guidance on the basic skills of "observing, smelling, asking, and cutting" for the Cambodian follow-up interns, and provides them with clinical hands-on operation opportunities to enhance their traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment abilities. At the same time, we will cooperate with Cambodia to apply for relevant research projects and conduct in-depth exploration of overseas traditional Chinese medicine assistance models.

In May 2022, our medical team will continue the expert group to hold a one month overseas training course on suitable techniques for traditional Chinese and Western medicine in Cambodia. In the same year, relying on the China Ministry of Commerce's foreign aid training program undertaken by Xiyuan Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, more than 200 Cambodian personnel completed traditional Chinese medicine themed training. In March 2023, our medical team, together with Cosma China Cambodia Friendship Hospital, held the "Seminar for Advanced Talents in acupuncture and moxibustion and Massage in Developing Countries". These trainings are deeply in line with the needs of the Cambodian medical industry, and many students have developed a strong interest in traditional Chinese medicine, laying a solid foundation for systematic learning of traditional Chinese medicine knowledge in the future.

Our medical team also actively collaborates with relevant institutions in Cambodia to hold various science popularization lectures and free clinics, imparting simple and practical knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and health preservation methods to the local people, and helping them understand the culture of traditional Chinese medicine.

The "three in one" medical aid model of medical treatment, teaching, and scientific research has effectively improved the effectiveness of foreign medical assistance, and more effectively promoted the rooting, flowering, and fruiting of traditional Chinese medicine overseas.

Fan Maorong from China News Agency: During the raging epidemic, members of the expert group and medical team utilized the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and diversified diagnosis and treatment models to assist Cambodia in fighting the epidemic. They actively promoted China's experience in epidemic prevention and control, effectively enhancing the local epidemic prevention and control capabilities.

After the epidemic situation was basically under control, the Chinese medical team shifted its focus to establishing characteristic clinics, further highlighting the brand effect of traditional Chinese medicine, and promoting traditional Chinese medicine therapy to Cambodian society more quickly. The medical team has sorted out the local advantageous diseases based on the local climate and public habits, and is committed to improving the ability of traditional Chinese medicine clinics to solve difficult and rare diseases. They have also achieved significant results in the diagnosis and treatment of common infectious diseases such as dengue fever, typhoid fever, and malaria.

The Chinese medical team assisting Cambodia in the fight against the epidemic has gradually won the recognition of the Cambodian people with its "simple and cost-effective" traditional Chinese medicine technology, and established a harmonious doctor-patient relationship as if they were one family through repeated follow-up visits. Revealing the profound connotation of traditional Chinese medicine culture from the story behind a single traditional Chinese medicine and a acupoint name, further enhancing friendship and understanding between the two peoples.

Tan Sokun, the director of Coasma China Cambodia Friendship Hospital, and MEY Sithach, the deputy director, highly praised the achievements of the Chinese medical team and traditional Chinese medicine outpatient department. They specifically wrote a letter to the Cambodian Ministry of Health, requesting the Ministry of Health to communicate with relevant Chinese departments and continue to dispatch traditional Chinese medicine medical teams to work in Cambodia.

At present, the dissemination of traditional Chinese medicine has expanded to 196 countries and regions around the world, with 30 high-quality overseas centers for traditional Chinese medicine and 56 international cooperation bases for traditional Chinese medicine established. To promote the internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine, it is necessary to strengthen medical cooperation within the international framework and create a global platform for traditional Chinese medicine services. Actively participate in and carry out the promotion and application activities of traditional Chinese medicine overseas, allowing the world to share the experience and therapies of traditional Chinese medicine in serving human health, and demonstrating the scientific and practical nature of traditional Chinese medicine through concrete cases.

In addition, attention should be paid to innovative research, allowing traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine to develop in parallel and synergistically, and expanding the dissemination and influence of traditional Chinese medicine culture overseas.

New comment: Donkey like "morale" limit pulls US debt "bomb" fuse hard to dismantle US | debt | morale

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
