Kenya hosted a conference on Monday to promote the use of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) across Africa.

8月19日，肯尼亞于當(dāng)?shù)嘏e行了一場(chǎng)旨在全非洲推介中醫(yī)藥的論壇會(huì)議。

The one-day International Expert Forum on China-Africa Partnership for Women's and Children's Health featured a high-profile delegation from central China's Hunan Province, and included cultural and fashion shows showcasing traditional costumes from both countries.

為期一天的中非婦女兒童健康合作國(guó)際專(zhuān)家論壇迎來(lái)了來(lái)自中國(guó)湖南的高規(guī)格代表團(tuán),，現(xiàn)場(chǎng)還舉辦了展示兩國(guó)傳統(tǒng)服飾的文化時(shí)尚表演,。

Liang Huizhen, director at the Department of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine at Hunan Provincial Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital, highlighted the similarities between TCM and African medicine, noting both employ a holistic approach rather than focusing solely on diagnosis.

活動(dòng)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，湖南省婦幼保健院中西醫(yī)結(jié)合科主任梁惠珍向與會(huì)嘉賓介紹了中醫(yī)和非洲醫(yī)學(xué)之間的相似之處,，指出兩者都采用統(tǒng)籌整體的方法,，而不是僅僅專(zhuān)注于問(wèn)診。

"Traditional Chinese medicine has many advantages, including use of natural products such as herbs to cure diseases," Liang said, emphasizing China's interest in expanding cooperation with Africa to enhance the use of TCM to improve health outcomes across the continent.

“中醫(yī)有許多優(yōu)勢(shì),，包括使用草藥等天然產(chǎn)品來(lái)進(jìn)行治療,。”梁惠珍指出,，中國(guó)有意拓展與非洲的合作,，從而強(qiáng)化中醫(yī)的應(yīng)用，增進(jìn)整個(gè)非洲大陸的健康水平,。

Siambi Kikete, lecturer at Kenyatta University's Department of Pharmacognosy and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, pointed out that Kenya lacks sufficient access to effective medicines for treating common ailments affecting mothers and children.

肯雅塔大學(xué)生藥學(xué)和藥物化學(xué)系導(dǎo)師西阿姆比·基凱特（Siambi Kikete）表示,，肯尼亞缺乏足夠的有效藥物用以治療母嬰常見(jiàn)疾病。

Kikete said that Kenya aims to adopt best practices from TCM, which includes natural and behavioral interventions such as exercise, diet, and acupuncture to prevent and treat both infectious and non-communicable diseases.

基凱特還表示,，肯尼亞目標(biāo)在于采用中醫(yī)的最佳實(shí)踐手段,，包括自然療法和行為干預(yù)措施，如鍛煉,、飲食和針灸,，以預(yù)防和治療傳染病和非傳染性疾病。

Ivy Ratemo, chief executive officer of the Pharmaceutical Society of Kenya, said that the country's healthcare sector will benefit immensely from alternative medication ingredients from China, which can enhance the efficacy of drugs used locally.

肯尼亞藥劑學(xué)會(huì)首席執(zhí)行官艾維·拉特莫（Ivy Ratemo）表示,，中國(guó)產(chǎn)出的替代性藥物將提升當(dāng)?shù)厮幬锏寞熜?，而這將極大地助益肯尼亞醫(yī)療保健行業(yè)。

During the forum, three Kenyatta University students were selected for a two-week training course at Hunan University of Chinese Medicine starting this October.

在論壇期間,，三名肯雅塔大學(xué)的學(xué)生被選中參加今年10月在湖南中醫(yī)藥大學(xué)舉辦的培訓(xùn)課程,，課程為期兩周。

One of the beneficiaries, Kevin Ogendi Gekara, a bachelor of pharmacy student at Kenyatta University, expressed his hopes to leverage the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of traditional Chinese medicine and contribute to its integration into Kenya's healthcare system.

獲選者之一的凱文·奧根迪·格卡拉（Kevin Ogendi Gekara）是肯雅塔大學(xué)藥學(xué)專(zhuān)業(yè)的本科生,，他表示希望利用這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)更深入地了解傳統(tǒng)中醫(yī),，并為其融入肯尼亞的醫(yī)療保健系統(tǒng)做出貢獻(xiàn)。
