世界中医药学会联合会五年发展规划 （2021—2025）中医药学包含着中国几千年的健康养生理念及其实践经验，是中华文明的瑰宝，不仅为中国的繁衍昌盛作出了卓越贡献，也对世界文明进步产生了积极影响。当前，人类社会发展已取得重大进步，但是人类健康受到诸多影响，卫生问题仍是全球性挑战。在应对公共卫生突发事件中，中医药积极参与，不断发挥特色优势，获得国际认可。为推动中医药学振兴发展开创新局面,为促进人类健康、改善全球卫生治理作出更大贡献,实现人人享有健康的美好愿景，特制定本规划。一、规划背景目前，中医药已经传播至196个国家与地区，全球接受过中医药、针灸、推拿或气功治疗的人数已达世界总人口的三分之一以上。据世界卫生组织统计，113个会员国认可使用针灸，其中29个国家设立了相关法律法规，20个国家将针灸纳入医疗保险体系，部分国家健康保险体系覆盖其他中医药疗法。海外建立的中医医疗机构达8万多家，各类中医药从业人员约有30万。中药已在俄罗斯、古巴、泰国、越南、新加坡、阿联酋和菲律宾等国以药品形式注册。组织建设进一步完善。 世界中医药学会联合会（以下简称“世界中联”）在理事会、监事会的领导下，组织建设体系完善，队伍不断发展壮大，吸收了覆盖全球72个国家和地区的277个团体会员，成立了涵盖中医各学科领域的204个分支机构，已经成为国际上组织规模最大，最具影响力和权威性的中医药国际学术组织。学术引领进一步增强。 世界中联打造以世界中医药大会及夏季峰会、五大洲区域论坛和分支机构学术会议为主的三级学术会议平台，已经形成了国际会议品牌效应，进一步扩大了国际间的学术交流，年度会议覆盖逾60个国家和地区，供上万名中医药人进行经验交流和技术展示；尤其在新冠疫情期间举办的院士级别高峰论坛受到广泛社会关注。人才培养进一步加强。 人才是实现中医药国际化发展的执行者。世界中联一直把人才教育作为中医药传承和创新的基础工程。推动团体会员在全球建立了各类中医药教育培训机构，组织制定发布了相关教育标准和人才管理标准，开展国际培训、水平考试和职称考评工作，形成国际中医药专业技术职称框架和国际培训体系。截至目前，已有来自40多个国家的5000多中医药专业技术人员参加了水平考试。27个国家和地区的近200人获得了高级技术职称。标准化建设取得成果。 世界中联已制定和发布各类中医药标准100多部，其中国际组织标准70部，涉及基础术语、人才、教育、医疗、科研等方面。《中医基本名词术语中英对照国际标准》发布后，已经有95个国家的行业机构签名采用。《中医基本名词术语中法对照国际标准》得到了法国国家药品食品检察署和巴黎国立医院总部的认可。《世界中医学本科（CMD前）教育标准》发行后，新西兰、澳大利亚、越南、马来西亚等国家的一些中医院校表示将参照标准的要求办学。中医药科研工作取得进展。 中医针灸科学原理、艾滋病治疗、中药活性成分提取及质量检测、中医药新产品研制等已经成为国际科技重大创新的目标。屠呦呦荣获2015年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖，《国际疾病分类第十一次修订本(ICD-11)》首次纳入起源于中医药的传统医学章节，中医药国际科研水平正与日俱增。据统计，全球每年发表的中医药SCI收录的期刊论文多达8500余篇，中医药核心竞争力不断增强，体现了中医药在世界医学发展中的作用。由世界中联创刊的《世界中医药》杂志目前多语种发行于全球60多个国家和90多个大使馆，世界中联官网和各媒体号以每年近千篇的新闻报道量，为海内外提供最前沿信息。中医药服务贸易逐步开展。 仅2020年中国中医药大健康产业规模就已超3万亿元人 民币，大健康产业被公认为是全球最大的产业之一。世界中联已成功举办四届国际中医药大健康博览会，每届6000余家海内外展商参展，覆盖50多个国家地区；在中国国际服务贸易交易会上举办三届中医药国际健康旅游发展论坛和一届国际康养旅游高峰论坛；开展了“一带一路 民心相通—中医中药世界行”活动，搭建了国际中医药健康旅游服务平台；建设了中国-法国中医药中心（塞纳），推动了中医药在欧洲的发展。中医药文化受到世界关注。 当前，中医针灸、太极拳、藏医药浴法列入联合国教科文组织人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录，《黄帝内经》和《本草纲目》入选世界记忆名录。2018年世界中联向全球发布《罗马宣言》，确定了每年的10月11日为“世界中医药日”，体现了全世界重视和发展中医药的趋势，反映了全球中医药人的共同心声。中医药文化已逐渐成为国际流行新趋势。国际组织合作进一步提升。 世界中联已经是世界卫生组织（WHO）非政府组织正式成员，定期参加世界卫生大会、世卫组织执委会工作会议及区域会议；是联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）非物质文化遗产保护咨询机构，是中医药界唯一代表，在藏医药浴和太极拳申遗工作中配合中国有关部门开展工作，取得了成效；是国际标准化组织（ISO）A级联络单位，通过世界中联向ISO申报国际标准25项；今年，世界中联获得了联合国经社理事会（ECOSOC） “特别咨商地位”，与联合国沟通增强。中医药参与全球卫生治理进一步深化。 中医药在常见病、多发病、疑难杂症的防治中具有优势作用，尤其是2020年新冠肺炎疫情以来，中医药全程深度参与疫情防控救治，中西医协同、优势互补的中国治疗方案为世界抗疫提供经验，中医药疗效得到世界卫生组织肯定，引起国际社会广泛关注。世界中联及时向全球发出倡议，号召全体会员和分支机构积极主动参与全球抗疫，在社区防控、阻碍疫情蔓延等方面发挥了重要作用。但是，中医药的国际发展仍面临许多困难和问题。中医药在世界各地的发展不均衡 ，传播的广度和深度还不够。中医药国际传播与发展在人才、技术、标准、疗效等方面工作还有待加强。中医药产业国际发展相对缓慢，与各国的法律法规、准入标准有待进一步衔接。中医药在各国合法地位尚需进一步确立，纳入医疗保险体系需要不断推进，文化认同和政治环境认同有待提升。二、指导思想、基本原则和发展目标（一）指导思想顺应全球经济社会发展趋势，适应人类健康发展需求，以“健康全覆盖”、“人人享有中医药”为目标。以增进各国民众健康福祉为出发点。坚持发展、服务、包容、务实的理念；坚持把促进和推动中医药在国际上更广泛传播与发展作为根本宗旨；坚持把中医药工作融入各国发展大局作为根本遵循；坚持把为全球会员提供优质高效的中医药服务作为工作的根本目的；坚持把不断继承创新，推进高质量发展作为根本动力。为服务全球经济社会发展，满足和增进人类健康，构建人类卫生健康共同体做出更大贡献。（二）基本原则坚持宗旨使命。

World Federation of Chinese MedicineSocieties Five-Year Development Plan (2021-2025) Traditional Chinesemedicine (TCM), the treasure of Chinese civilization, contains severalmillennia of Chinese health concepts and practical experience. It has not onlymade remarkable contributions to the China’s prosperity, but also had apositive impact on the progress of world civilization. At present, though humanbeings have made great progress in social development, mankind's health isfacing numerous effects, and health issues are still a global challenge. Inresponding to public health emergencies, TCM actively participated, constantlygave full play to its characteristic advantages and won internationalrecognition. This plan is formulated to promote the revitalization anddevelopment of TCM. It will make greater contributions to the promotion ofhuman health and the improvement of global health governance, so that torealize the beautiful vision of health for all. 1. Background ofthe Plan Currently, TCM has spreadto 196 countries and regions. The number of people who have received Chinesemedicinal, acupuncture, tui na or qigong treatment is more thanone-third of the world's total population. Accordingto statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO), 113 Member States have endorsed the application ofacupuncture, 29 countries have establishedrelevant laws and regulations, 20 countries have integrated acupuncture intotheir health insurance systems and some countries’ health insurance systemscover other TCM therapies.

Especially,the academician-level summit forum held during the COVID-19 pandemic receivedwide social attention. 1.3 FurtherStrengthening the Talents Cultivation Talents are the executorsto realize the international development of TCM. WFCMS has always taken talentscultivation as the basic project of TCM inheritance and innovation. It haspromoted its members to establish various TCM education and traininginstitutions around the world, organized the formulation and release ofrelevant education standards and talent management standards. It has also carriedout international training, level examination and professional title evaluation,finally forming an international TCM professional and technical title frameworkand international training system. So far, more than 5,000 TCM professionaltechnicians from more than 40 countries have taken the proficiency tests. Nearly200 people from 27 countries and regions have obtained senior technical titles. 1.4 Standardization Construction Achieving Results By 2020, WFCMS hasdeveloped and published more than 100 various types of TCM standards, including70 standards for international organizations, covering basic terminology,talents, education, medical treatment, scientific research and so on. After therelease of the International Standard for the Chinese and EnglishTerminology of Basic TCM Terms, it has been signed and adopted by industrybodies in 95 countries. The International Standard for the Chinese andFrench Terminology of Basic TCM Terms has been endorsed by the FrenchNational Agency for the Inspection of Medicines and Food and the NationalHospital Headquarters in Paris. After the publication of the World Standardfor Undergraduate (Pre-CMD) TCM Education, some TCM schools in New Zealand,Australia, Vietnam and Malaysia have indicated that they will refer to therequirements of the standard. 1.5 Scientific Research Achieving Progress The scientific principlesof TCM acupuncture, AIDS treatment, the extraction and quality testing ofactive ingredients in Chinese medicinal, and the development of new products inTCM have become the targets of major international scientific and technologicalinnovations. When Tu Youyou was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology orMedicine in 2015, the International Classification of Diseases, Eleventh Revision (ICD-11, revised version) first including a chapter on traditional medicine including TCM, theinternational scientific research level of TCM is increasing with each passingday. According to the statistics, as many as 8,500 SCI-indexed journal paperson TCM are published globally every year. The core competitiveness of TCMcontinues to grow, reflecting the role of TCM in the development of worldmedicine. The Journal of World Chinese Medicine, created by WFCMS, iscurrently distributed in multiple languages in more than 60 countries and 90embassies worldwide. The official website of WFCMS and various media numbersprovide the most cutting-edge information at home and abroad with nearly 1,000news reports every year. 1.6 Gradual Development of Trade in TCM Services TheTCM Big-health industry scale alone of China hasexceeded RMB 3 trillion in 2020. The big-health industry is recognized as oneof the largest industries in the world. WFCMS has successfully held fourinternational TCM big-health fairs, with more than 6,000 exhibitors from homeand abroad, covering more than 50 countries and regions. In addition, three TCMinternational health tourism development forums and one international healthtourism summit forum were held at the China International Fair for Trade in Services.WFCMS carried out the “Belt and Road, People-to-people World tour of TCM” tobuild an international TCM health tourism service platform. It also built theChina-France TCM Center (Seine) and promoting the development of TCM in Europe. 1.7 Worldwide Attention on TCM Culture Currently, TCM acupuncture,taijiquan and Tibetan medicinal baths are included in the UNESCORepresentative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Huangdi'sInternal Classic and the Compendium of Materia Medica are selected tothe Memory of the World Register. The Rome Declaration, which published tothe world by WFCMS in 2018, determines October 11 as the “World ChineseMedicine Day”. It reflects the worldwide trend of attaching importance to anddeveloping TCM, and reflects the common voice of TCM practitioners around theworld. TCM culture has gradually become a new trend international popularity. 1.8 Further Enhancing theCooperation with International Organizations As a formal non-governmental organization setting working relationship member of the World Health Organization(WHO), WFCMS regularly participates in the World Health Assembly, the workingand regional meetings of the WHO Executive Committee. It is the advisory bodyfor the protection of intangible cultural heritage of UNESCO, and the onlyrepresentative TCM sector. WFCMS has cooperated with the relevant nationaldepartments in the application for the inscription of Tibetan medicinal bathsand taijiquan which achieved results.

Especially, since the COVID-19 pandemic 2020, TCM has beendeeply participated in the prevention, control and treatment of the epidemicthroughout the whole course. The Chinese treatment plan, with synergycomplementary advantages of TCM and western medicine, has provided experiencefor the world to fight the pandemic. The efficacy of TCM has been affirmed byWHO and has aroused wide attention from the world community. WFCMS issued atimely initiative to the world, calling on all members and branches toproactively participate in the global anti-epidemic, has played an importantrole in community prevention and control, and impediment of epidemic spreading. However, the internationaldevelopment of TCM still faces many difficulties and problems. The development of TCM around the world is uneven, and the breadth anddepth of its spreading are not sufficient. The internationalcommunication and development of TCM needs to be strengthened in terms oftalents, technology, standards, and curative effects. The international developmentof the TCM industry is relatively slow, and it needs to be further connectedwith the laws, regulations and access standards of various countries. The legalstatus of TCM in various countries needs to be further developed, itsintegration into the medical insurance system needs to be continuouslypromoted, and its cultural identity and political environment identity need tobe improved. 2.
