Suzhou TCM Heals Ties With Arab Nations
13 Nov
Summary
- Suzhou Hospital of TCM fosters people-to-people exchange with Arab countries.
- Partnership with Marrakech uses TCM to strengthen sister-city ties since 2017.
- Wumen school of TCM extends reach in North Africa via cultural exchanges.
Medical cooperation serves as a strong bridge for people-to-people exchanges between Suzhou and Arab nations, with the Suzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine playing a central role.
Since 2017, the hospital has utilized traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to enhance ties with Marrakech, implementing practical exchanges through visits, seminars, and training. This initiative has broadened the international influence of the Wumen school of TCM.
Cooperation has expanded beyond a single hospital to encompass multiple medical institutions in both cities. This growth strengthens people-to-people connections via traditional medicine.
In December 2024, a delegation from the Suzhou health commission visited Marrakech for cultural exchanges, agreeing on joint efforts in TCM diagnosis, treatment, and promotion. A year later, a TCM delegation visited the Republic of Congo and Morocco, offering consultations and donations while showcasing the Wumen school.
During the Morocco visit, academic exchanges with Mohammed VI University Hospital led to an agreement on medical research cooperation. These efforts have extended TCM's reach in North Africa and strengthened ties with Marrakech, aligning with the Belt and Road Initiative.
