一根银针跨越山海：中国医生让非洲护士学会针灸

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — More than 40 local key nursing staff packed the telemedicine center of the China-Sierra Leone Friendship Hospital on July 17 for a landmark Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) training program, delivered by the 27th Chinese Medical Team from Hunan Province. Combining live-streamed lectures by TCM experts in Hunan with on-site hands-on instruction, the session walked participants through acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, scraping, and tuina massage — demystifying millennia-old techniques in plain bilingual explanations bringing millennia-old TCM wisdom to the clinical front lines of West Africa.

弗里敦，塞拉利昂——7月17日，中塞友好医院远程医学中心座无虚席，40余名当地护理骨干参加了中国（湖南）第27批援塞拉利昂医疗队组织的中医护理培训。培训采用湖南专家云端授课与援塞医师现场教学相结合的模式，以通俗双语系统讲解针刺、艾灸、拔罐、刮痧、推拿等中医外治技术，将千年岐黄智慧带入西非临床一线。

The training's impact was immediate. During a live demonstration, an 18-year-old patient with six months of recurrent knee pain was treated with Fu's Subcutaneous Needling — her pain eased significantly within two minutes, and she regained full mobility on the spot. "This curriculum fills a real gap in our pain management capacity," said Zainab Bangura, a registered nurse at the hospital. The program marks a deliberate shift in China-Africa health cooperation: moving beyond direct treatment to building a self-sustaining local workforce capable of delivering affordable, low-side-effect TCM therapies across West Africa.

培训效果立竿见影。临床带教中，一名膝关节疼痛半年的18岁患者接受浮针治疗，仅两分钟疼痛显著缓解、活动恢复自如。中塞友好医院注册护士Zainab Bangura表示："这套课程填补了塞拉利昂疼痛疾病治疗的空白。"此次培训彰显中非卫生合作从单纯诊疗输出转向"授人以渔"——致力于培育本土中医护理队伍，让低成本中医疗法惠及西非民众。
