Chinese hospital for traditional medicine receives about 15,000 patients daily
Traditional
Chinese Medicine, TCM, has over the years grown in popularity in China and
abroad. This treatment method is so popular that the Outpatient Department of
the Jiangsu Provincial Hospital for Traditional Chinese Medicine receives about
15,000 people a day and 240,000 a year. Located in Nanjing, the Jiangsu
provincial headquarters in south-eastern China, the whole hospital in 2016
received over 4 million patients.
According
to Dr Helen Fu, who serves with the department, Traditional Chinese Medicine
treats amongst others problems with the artery, stiff neck, numbness,
indigestion, hernia, stroke, stomach upsets, internal and complicated heart
diseases. Dr Sun is Head of the TCM Department of the Jiangsu Provincial
Hospital for Traditional Chinese Medicine. The hospital is affiliated to the
Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine. Dr Sun explains that to become a TCM
Medical Doctor (General Practitioner), students undergo a five-course, followed
by three years of industrial attachment. The course content is 30 per cent of
orthodox medicine.
On
the whole, TMC is cheaper than orthodox medical care and does not have side
effects. Acupuncture, which is part of the practice, originated in China over
3,000 years ago before spreading to other nations. Prof. Wang Changqing, the
Vice Chair of the Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine Administrative Council
and the institution’s Vice President, says the university was the first in
China to receive foreign students in TMC. Founded in 1954, the university today
has a student enrolment of 20,000, with over 1,000 foreigners.
Amongst
them is a Cameroonian, Njifack Vanessa, who is in first year. She got a Chinese
scholarship after reading the language at the Yaounde Confucius Institute. The
other Africans are Badrah Said Ali Mohamed from the Comoros Island, who is in
third year, and a Malian in fifth year. Njifack plans to return home after
training to set up practice. She will probably be aided in her quest by the
more experienced Chinese TMC doctors serving in Mbalmayo in the Centre Region.
