当地时间10月17日至18日,第二十三届世界中医药大会在新加坡举行,全球25个国家和地区的千余名业界代表齐聚狮城,共探中医药融入全球卫生健康体系的落地路径。
从传统的产品贸易,到高水平的循证医学研究,再到构建本土化综合服务体系,中医药的出海方式正发生深刻变化。“以严谨证据对话世界,以开放姿态融入体系”成为此次大会各界的广泛共识。
以循证为桥:让世界“看懂”中医药
疗效机制难以用现代科学语言阐释,一直是中医药走向世界的瓶颈。《中医药振兴发展“十五五”规划》提出,鼓励支持中外科研机构、企业积极参与,共同建设开放协同的中医药国际科技创新体系。
在本届大会期间,达仁堂速效救心丸国际随机双盲对照研究启动,这是中国中成药首次在新加坡权威西医医院开展临床研究。
“中医药国际化需循序渐进。”天津医药集团总裁、津药达仁堂集团董事长王磊表示,国际化过程中必须借助国际认可的循证医学评价体系来证明疗效。作为深耕新加坡近30年的中药企业,公司的核心产品已进入当地主流零售渠道,并逐步向全球辐射。
如何走好这条循证之路?新加坡保健卫生兼社会政策统筹部长王乙康在大会开幕式上指出,整合医学须以严谨的安全性、有效性证据为基础,但不宜用不认可中医经验积累的范式加以束缚。这意味着,中医药循证既要拥抱国际标准,也需尊重自身理论传承。
从急救到慢病:重塑中药临床应用场景
在此次大会的交流中,与会专家普遍认为,中医药不仅能突破急救的“生死关”,其在疾病预防、术后康复及日常养护等全生命周期管理中的独特价值,也正亟待被重新定义与发掘。
出席此次大会的天津市胸科医院急诊科行政主任、天津市胸痛与复苏学会会长李春洁结合临床实践表示,在院前急性胸痛发作时,部分中成药缓解速度更快、效率更高,且对血压影响较小,安全性较高。“但中医药的价值绝不止于急救。”他指出,目前临床研究和应用正在向更前端与后端延伸,探索如何将中医药融入从院前急救、术后康复到日常慢病预防的连续管理中。
这种从“急救”向“全周期”延伸的临床探索,恰好契合了心血管疾病防治的宏观理念。中国工程院院士张运在大会主题报告中指出,中医药“治未病”理念与现代心血管事件链的全程管理思路高度契合,从日常预防到急危重症救治,中医药的临床应用场景正不断拓宽,其独特的优势正被更多海外患者所认知。
深度融合:从单一贸易走向全生命周期服务
在国际市场上提升中药的竞争力,不仅在于药品本身的质量,更在于能否构建一套完善的海外综合服务体系。
从大会现场释放的信号来看,中医药出海正告别单一的药品注册与销售,转向本土化人才培养、联合实验室建设与中医药文化传播并重。通过设立海外文化中心、开展国际多中心临床合作等方式,中医药正加速融入当地医疗体系。
世界中联主席马建中在大会上介绍,中医药已传播至全球196个国家和地区,113个成员国认可使用针灸等诊疗技术。他表示,新加坡在推动中医药规范化、本土化方面的探索,为全球传统医药发展提供了有益借鉴。
从单一产品出口,到“研究+产品+文化”的综合输出,中医药出海的路径正愈发清晰。正如与会专家所言,中医药走向世界既是一场科研长跑,也是一次文明对话。唯有以严谨的疗效数据为基石,以开放姿态融入各国卫生健康体系,中医药才能真正惠及全球。(完)

The Taiwan Young Patients Association calls for reform of the health insurance premium calculation system. The current salary-centered system causes unfair payment for office workers and retirees. The association recommends implementing the affordability principle and initiating social dialogue on health insurance financial reform to ensure generational equity.

Northwestern University and the Buck Institute on Aging collaborated to analyze healthy ovarian tissue from 28 menopausal women and found that protein composition changes with age, and found clues related to inflammation, tissue fibrosis and ovarian cancer. The results were published in "Aging Cells".

The "Dementia Research Office" of the National Center for Aging Medicine and Health and Welfare Research of the National Institutes of Health was inaugurated on the 19th. DPP Yunlin County Governor candidate and legislator Liu Jianguo attended the event and said that Taiwan's dementia population is about 400,000 and rising rapidly. He hopes to integrate industry, government, academia and research through the research office so that research results can be introduced into families and communities to build a complete dementia protection network.
The National Medical Insurance Administration announced that the medical insurance wallet version 2.0 has been fully launched nationwide, realizing the cross-provincial sharing of employee medical insurance accounts, supporting online multi-channel and offline processing, further reducing the medical burden of insured people across provinces, and improving the efficiency of fund use.
On October 18, 2026, Meinian Health released the "Meinian Health 2025 Health Examination Big Data Blue Book" in Jinan. The report is based on 19.8 million adult physical examination samples across the country, revealing major national health risks such as nodules and metabolism, as well as regional and gender differences.

A British research team tested a small device that stimulates the nervous system through the ears and found that the device may help lower blood pressure in patients with severe hypertension that is not well controlled by medication, but it was not significantly better than a placebo in the overall group. Researchers believe that this technology is safe and has potential for promotion, but requires further verification in larger-scale trials.
