中新网新加坡10月17日电 (孙翼飞 侯逸超)第二十三届世界中医药大会17日在新加坡开幕。本届大会以“应对全球健康挑战,推动中医药深度融入各国医药卫生健康体系”为主题,来自全球的中医药领域专家学者与行业代表齐聚一堂,共商中医药国际化发展路径。
中医药“走出去”,更要“走进去”
从青蒿素挽救全球数百万疟疾患者生命,到中医药传播至世界196个国家和地区,中医药已成为世界医学大家庭中不可或缺的一员。
世界中医药学会联合会主席马建中在开幕式致辞中称,中医药是中华民族的伟大创造,不仅为中华民族的繁衍昌盛,也为世界文明进步作出了巨大贡献。中医药成为中国与东盟、欧盟、非盟、拉共体及上合组织、金砖国家等地区和机制合作的重要领域。
“中医药走向世界,需要‘走出去’,更需要‘走进去’。”中国驻新加坡大使曹忠明称,所谓“走进去”,就是要真正融入各国的医药卫生健康体系,与当地医疗实践相结合,与各国人民健康需求相对接。
曹忠明说,这需要我们以开放包容的姿态,加强国际标准建设,推动循证研究,培养国际化人才,深化政府间对话与产业合作。
天津医药集团总裁、津药达仁堂集团董事长王磊表示,中医药是沉淀着千年东方健康智慧的文明瑰宝,其整体观念、辨证施治的独特优势,为完善全球公共卫生体系、践行“健康丝绸之路”愿景,也为应对人口老龄化、慢性病高发等健康难题,提供了宝贵的东方方案。
中医药创新合作,适配“本地”需求
中医药走向世界,既要守住自身传承的根脉,更要适配属地民众真实的健康需求。王磊梳理了三条实践路径:锚定全球健康需求,持续彰显中医药临床价值;坚持科技创新与合规先行,推动中医药适配各国医药卫生体系;秉持开放包容理念,以文明互鉴共建全球中医药合作生态。
新加坡中医师公会会长吴佳盛回顾了公会成立八十周年的历程。公会创办的中华医院累计服务已超过1500万人次,中医学院培养了超6000名毕业生,栽培了绝大部分本地中医专才。目前,公会正推动属下机构与各大医院及科研机构开展创新性合作,涵盖中西医结合沙盒计划、临床研究与人才培训等项目。
中医药融入狮城,共享东方智慧
当前,全球卫生健康事业面临多重挑战,慢性病负担加重、新发传染病风险犹存、老龄化进程加快,单一医学模式已难以独善其身。中医药作为中华文明的瑰宝,以其整体观念、辨证论治、治未病的独特优势,正在为全球健康治理贡献越来越多的东方智慧。
中医药与新加坡的渊源深厚。曹忠明表示,早在几个世纪前,中医药就随着华人先贤的足迹来到南洋,在这片土地上生根发芽、开枝散叶。新加坡是中医药在东南亚传播发展的重要枢纽,也是中西医协同发展的先行者。
他进一步称,近年来,中新两国在传统医药领域的合作不断深化,从学术交流到人才培养,从科研协作到产业对接,成果丰硕。本届大会在新加坡举办,既是对新加坡中医药事业发展的充分肯定,也必将为中医药在东南亚乃至全球的传播注入新的动力。
在老字号海外推广专题会,津药达仁堂集团国际发展公司总经理林曼分享了中医药走向世界的国际化实例。据介绍,其相关产品已进驻新加坡72家门店,融入当地居民日常健康消费场景。当中医药以这样的方式融入狮城百姓的日常,它便不再是“外来客”,而是全球共享的健康智慧。
在学术交流环节,多位专家围绕现代中药的循证研究展开分享,介绍了中医药从急救延伸至慢病长期管理、风险预防的全链条健康服务模式。一系列扎实研究,正在帮助全球市场理解中药价值,提升中医药的国际专业影响力。

与会专家表示,中医药国际化需要全行业协同发力,推动中医药标准对接国际规则,搭建科研成果转化共享平台,让中医药真正成为增进人类健康福祉的重要力量。
