In recent years, China and Africa have continuously deepened cooperation in the field of healthcare, and fruitful achievements have been made in the exchange of traditional Chinese medicine. Mali Luban Workshop cultivates local traditional Chinese medicine talents, Chinese medical teams carry out traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment in Tanzania, and South Africa improves the efficiency of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment with the help of artificial intelligence technology... Traditional Chinese medicine has taken root in Africa in various forms, integrated into the local medical service system, and brought health and well-being to more and more African people. Mali Traditional Chinese Medicine Technology Luban Workshop - "Striving to Cultivate More Local Traditional Chinese Medicine Talents" At Tianjin Medical College, 25-year-old Malian international student Aaron Michael and four other classmates sat together to discuss the content of the class. If the patient has back and waist pain, can these acupoints be injected together? "Someone asked, and several people flipped through books while gesturing to the positions of the acupoints. These 5 students all come from the Luban Workshop of Traditional Chinese Medicine Technology in Mali. They came to Tianjin in December last year to start a 3-year training program in traditional Chinese medicine theory and practice. In December 2019, Tianjin Medical College, Tianjin Red Star Vocational Secondary School, and Bamako University of Science and Technology and Bamako University of Humanities established the world's first Traditional Chinese Medicine Technology Luban Workshop in Mali. We are committed to providing vocational training in traditional Chinese medicine for young people in Mali, so that more people can understand and learn about Chinese traditional medicine, "said Diarra Boubacar, the initiator of the Luban Workshop, to reporters. The connection between Diarra and traditional Chinese medicine dates back over 40 years. In 1984, Diarra came to China to study and had her first encounter with traditional Chinese medicine while studying at Beijing Language and Culture University (now Beijing Language and Culture University), which sparked her strong interest. Through systematic study of traditional Chinese medicine theory, he became the first foreigner to obtain a doctoral degree in traditional Chinese medicine. After returning to China after completing her studies, Diarra devoted herself to promoting traditional Chinese medicine culture. Nowadays, the Mali Traditional Chinese Medicine Technology Luban Workshop has formed a complete talent training system. At Bamako University of Science and Technology, students can take Traditional Chinese Medicine as an elective course or as a professional direction. Over the past six years, Luban Workshop has trained more than 1000 professionals in traditional Chinese medicine, among whom 54 Malian students have become practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine after receiving systematic training. With its therapeutic effects and reputation, traditional Chinese medicine is gradually being accepted by more and more Malian people, "said Diarra. The vocational education model and traditional Chinese medicine technology from China are gradually integrating into the local medical system, and Luban Workshop has become a new business card for China Africa medical cooperation. Diarra said that there are similarities between traditional Chinese medicine in China and Mali. He hopes to introduce the concept of traditional Chinese medicine into Mali and promote Mali's traditional medicine to go out of Africa, so that African and Chinese traditional medicine can benefit human health through exchange and mutual learning. Traditional Chinese Medicine is a bridge connecting different civilizations. In the future, we will strive to cultivate more local talents in traditional Chinese medicine and enable it to take root and develop in Mali. ”Diarra stated that he is planning to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic at the Mali Traditional Medicine Research Institute to facilitate patients' access to traditional Chinese medicine treatment. China Aid Tanzania Medical Team - "Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment methods have achieved quick results and good results" In the Mbeya referral hospital in southwestern Tanzania, a patient suffering from cervical pain for a long time lay on the treatment bed. Chen Wenming, member of the 27th China Aid Tanzania Medical Team, gently twirled a silver needle for acupuncture and moxibustion. As the needle is slowly administered, the patient's tense muscles gradually relax. A few minutes later, the patient slowly sat up, moved their waist and back, and felt much more relaxed. The Tanzanian medical staff observing attentively recorded the key points of the operation. In this TCM training, more than 30 medical staff from multiple departments of the hospital also learned the basic theory of TCM, common disease conditioning ideas, and acupuncture and moxibustion, massage, cupping and other techniques. "Acupuncture and moxibustion, massage and other TCM diagnostic and therapeutic methods have achieved quick results and good results, which are impressive. ”Mboma, the head of the Department of Surgery at the referral hospital in the Mbeya region, stated that the training has broadened the clinical treatment approach and further promoted clinical collaboration between Tanzania and China. Since arriving in Mbeya in August 2024, the 27th batch of Chinese medical aid team members to Tanzania have incorporated traditional Chinese medicine into their routine diagnosis and treatment while providing daily medical services. Chen Wenming introduced to the reporter that the team members flexibly used traditional Chinese medicine therapies such as moxibustion and ear acupressure based on the patient's condition, helping multiple orthopedic and chronic pain patients relieve symptoms and improve physical function. The Tanzanian people have a tradition of using herbs and massage, which creates favorable conditions for promoting traditional Chinese medicine in the local area, "said Chen Wenming. Liji, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Affairs Officer of Tanzania's Ministry of Health, has studied abroad in China and has a strong interest in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine therapy provides a new option for clinical treatment in Tanzanian hospitals, especially in the management of chronic pain, "said Liji. The African Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture and moxibustion in South Africa - "Artificial intelligence technology brings more possibilities for traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment" entered the African Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture and moxibustion in Johannesburg, South Africa. Under the guidance of the staff, Christine, a 26 year old South African girl, came to the Chinese medicine artificial intelligence diagnosis and treatment equipment and collected facial and tongue pictures as prompted. A few minutes later, a traditional Chinese medicine medical examination report including physical analysis and health advice appeared on the screen. Your body has some deficiency of qi and blood, accompanied by poor circulation of meridians in the shoulder and neck areas. ”Hu Zijing, head of the African Center of Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture and moxibustion, and associate professor of Johannesburg University, explained to Christine one by one from the change of tongue picture to the state of meridians. Hu Zijing brought Kristin to the treatment room to experience the traditional Chinese medicine characteristic therapy - pestle needle. Hu Zijing introduced that the pestle needle therapy is more easily accepted by patients who are new to traditional Chinese medicine by tapping on acupoints in the meridians with special instruments. With gentle and rhythmic tapping sounds, Kristin began to receive treatment. More than ten minutes later, she moved her shoulders: "I feel a lot of shoulder and neck relaxation, and my whole body is light." The African Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture and moxibustion is the acupuncture and moxibustion clinical practice base of Johannesburg University. Since 2020, the University of Johannesburg has offered professional courses in acupuncture and moxibustion, which enrolls about 50 undergraduates and 20 postgraduates every year. By combining classroom teaching with clinical practice, it strives to cultivate local TCM talents. Tasnim Patel, a student majoring in acupuncture and moxibustion at the University of Johannesburg, has become a licensed doctor in the African Center of Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture and moxibustion after six years of systematic study. She told reporters that she currently receives about 15 patients per week, many of whom come for treatment due to chronic pain, muscle strain, or stress-induced insomnia. In recent years, the African TCM and acupuncture and moxibustion Center has introduced TCM AI diagnosis and treatment equipment to make the diagnosis and treatment process more efficient. The device can analyze patients' physical conditions through facial and tongue images, and combine them with a large number of real cases in the database to provide diagnostic references for doctors, "Patel said." It allows us to quickly and comprehensively understand patients' conditions, thereby providing more accurate diagnosis and treatment services. "" Artificial intelligence technology brings more possibilities to traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment. ”Hu Zijing stated that traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes holistic and dialectical thinking, while artificial intelligence can integrate a large amount of data to help doctors better diagnose and analyze. The deep integration of traditional Chinese medicine and artificial intelligence provides a new path for the promotion of traditional Chinese medicine culture overseas, allowing more and more African people to understand traditional Chinese medicine culture
