國有界，愛無疆，援外醫(yī)療隊(duì)派遣是中國持續(xù)時(shí)間最長,、派遣規(guī)模最大,、實(shí)施效果最好的援助項(xiàng)目之一，深受受援國政府和民眾的歡迎,。

Love knows no boundaries. The dispatch of medical teams, as one of China’s most enduring, extensive, and successful aid programs, is widely welcomed by the governments and people of recipient countries.

胡莎連續(xù)兩年在津巴布韋擔(dān)任針灸醫(yī)生,，“粉絲”眾多?！澳艿玫交颊邆兊男湃?，再累也很值得?！焙f,。

Hu Sha, who has been serving as an acupuncture doctor in Zimbabwe for two years, has a large number of fans. She stated, “Earning patients' trust is truly worth all the hard work.”

在醫(yī)療資源匱乏的津巴布韋，針灸以其顯著的療效和迅速的改善特點(diǎn),，深受當(dāng)?shù)鼐用竦臍g迎,。

In Zimbabwe, where medical resources are scarce, acupuncture is highly popular among local residents for its significant therapeutic effects and rapid improvements—

一名患有腦癱的兒童，在胡莎的診治下,，經(jīng)過20多天的針灸治療,，患兒不僅能夠自主翻身，甚至可以自行坐起,；繼續(xù)治療兩個月后,，孩子逐漸學(xué)會行走；而在治療三個月后,，患兒的智力和運(yùn)動能力已接近正常,。

After Hu Sha treated a child with cerebral palsy with acupuncture for more than 20 days, the child could not only turn over independently but also sit up by himself. After three months of treatment, the child’s intelligence and motor skills were close to normal.

“這位腦癱患兒算是幸運(yùn)的，因?yàn)樵诓∏樯形磹夯诫y以干預(yù)的程度便得到了治療,。然而,，當(dāng)?shù)卦S多民眾缺乏及時(shí)就診的意識，導(dǎo)致許多患者錯過了最佳治療時(shí)機(jī),?！焙锌馈Ｋ釉\過一名腫瘤患者,，由于沒有錢進(jìn)行檢查和及時(shí)就醫(yī),，病情發(fā)展到晚期，患者的脖子上已經(jīng)長出了巨大的腫瘤,。

"This child with cerebral palsy is fortunate to have received treatment before the condition worsened and needed more challenging intervention. However, many people in the local area lack awareness of seeking medical attention promptly, resulting in many patients missing the treatment opportunities," Hu Sha said with a sigh. She once received a cancer patient who, due to a lack of funds for checkups and timely medical care, allowed the condition to progress to an advanced stage, with a huge tumor on the neck.

“面對這樣的狀況,，我們的醫(yī)療隊(duì)不僅要幫助他們減緩疾病進(jìn)展，還要致力于疾病治療和預(yù)防,，健康科普也需要全面展開,?！焙f。

"In such a situation, our medical team not only needs to help them slow down the progression of the disease, but also needs to focus on disease treatment and prevention, and health education needs to be comprehensively carried out," said Hu Sha.

目前,，津巴布韋中醫(yī)針灸中心每天都要接診40名左右的患者,，從看診到做治療，要花費(fèi)一名醫(yī)生不少時(shí)間,。因此,，培養(yǎng)當(dāng)?shù)蒯樉尼t(yī)生、傳播中醫(yī)文化尤為重要,。胡莎通過教學(xué)培訓(xùn),，成功培養(yǎng)出兩名具備當(dāng)?shù)卣Z言溝通能力并能夠進(jìn)行基礎(chǔ)針灸治療的學(xué)生。

Currently, the Zimbabwe Chinese Acupuncture Center treats around 40 patients daily, and the process from diagnosis to treatment takes a significant amount of time for the doctors.Due to the importance of training local acupuncturists and promoting Chinese medical culture, Hu Sha has successfully trained two locals who are capable of providing basic acupuncture treatments.薩沙是其中一位學(xué)生,。深受中醫(yī)魅力影響,，薩沙的父親曾在中國醫(yī)療隊(duì)的針灸治療下康復(fù)，因此,，薩沙于2023年加入津巴布韋中醫(yī)藥中心,，成為胡莎的弟子。經(jīng)過一年多的嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)學(xué)習(xí),，薩沙現(xiàn)已具備獨(dú)立接診和運(yùn)用針灸進(jìn)行簡易痛癥治療的能力,。

Sasha is one of the locals. Deeply impressed by the charm of TCM, Sasha's father was cured by acupuncture treatment under theChinese medical team, so Sasha joined the Zimbabwe Chinese Medicine Center in 2023 and became HuSha's disciple. After more than a year of rigorous study, Sasha now has the ability to independently consult and use acupuncture treatmentstoreliefsimple pain.

籌備首間“中醫(yī)文化屋”

The First “TCM Cultural Gallery”

“雖然當(dāng)?shù)鼐用穸挤浅釔壑嗅t(yī)、相信中醫(yī),，但他們對中醫(yī)的了解不足,，僅停留在針灸、拔罐等治療手段上,?！焙Ｍ茉谧约旱娜纹趦?nèi)，加強(qiáng)當(dāng)?shù)刂嗅t(yī)文化的影響力,。在湖南中醫(yī)藥大學(xué)第一附屬醫(yī)院的支持下,，胡莎正在當(dāng)?shù)鼗I備非洲第一家中醫(yī)陳列室和中醫(yī)急救小屋，希望能為津巴布韋創(chuàng)造更多展示,、傳播和推廣中醫(yī)的平臺,。

Although local residents love and believe in Chinese medicine, their understanding of it is insufficient, primarily limited to acupuncture and cupping therapies. Hu Sha hopes to enhance the local influence of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) during her term by establishing the first “TCM Cultural Gallery” in Africa. With support from the First Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine, she is currently preparing the “TCM Cultural Gallery” and an emergency acupuncture house in Zimbabwe.

不僅如此，胡莎和肖志強(qiáng),、王敏華兩位醫(yī)生,，代表中國（湖南）第21批援津巴布韋醫(yī)療隊(duì)參加津巴布韋國際貿(mào)易博覽會。在中國館展區(qū)設(shè)立中醫(yī)藥展臺,，展出了針灸人體模型,、針灸用具,、火罐,、中成藥等,，吸引了大量當(dāng)?shù)孛癖姾蛧H友人的駐足關(guān)注。

Furthermore, Hu Sha, along with doctors Xiao Zhiqiang and Wang Minhua, set up a Traditional Chinese Medicine exhibit booth at the China Pavilion, representing the 21st dispatch of the Chinese (Hunan) Medical Team to Zimbabwe at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair. They displayed acupuncture human models, acupuncture tools, cuppingjars, and Chinese patent medicines, attracting extensive attention from local residents and international friends.

這也讓胡莎等醫(yī)療隊(duì)員更加加深了助力中醫(yī)事業(yè)在津巴布韋發(fā)展的決心,，為此,，中國（湖南）援津醫(yī)療隊(duì)走遍了津巴布韋10個省份開展義診，并宣傳傳染病,、常見病和多發(fā)病的防治知識,，向當(dāng)?shù)鼐用褓浰歪t(yī)療和藥品。

It also strengthened Hu Sha and other medical workers' resolve to assist in the development of traditional Chinese medicine in Zimbabwe. Therefore, the Chinese (Hunan) medical team to Zimbabwe conducted free medical consultations in all 10 provinces of Zimbabwe and disseminated knowledge on the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, common diseases, and multiplediseases, while also distributing medical supplies and medicineto local residents.

目前,，津巴布韋中醫(yī)中心已經(jīng)發(fā)展成南部非洲最大的中醫(yī)中心,，每日患者絡(luò)繹不絕，中醫(yī)的療效和口碑在當(dāng)?shù)匕傩罩汹A得了廣泛好評,。在新一屆任期里,，胡莎提出在津巴布韋第二大城市布拉瓦約建立中醫(yī)分中心的想法。

So far, the Zimbabwe Chinese Medicine Center has become the largest TCM center in southern Africa, receiving a continuous stream of patients daily. The effectiveness and reputation of Chinese medicine havewon widespread acclaim from the local populace. In her new term, Hu Sha has proposed establishing a branch of the TCM Center in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe’s second-largest city.

在2024年4月召開的津巴布韋國際貿(mào)易博覽會上,，瑪?shù)俸陀H友一行三人專程前往,，只為前來給胡莎“捧場”。

At the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair held in April 2024, Marsha and two of her friends made a special trip,just to come and support Hu Sha.

瑪?shù)僬f：“我們非常感謝中國醫(yī)療隊(duì),，尤其是感謝胡莎醫(yī)生的針灸治療,。聽說中國醫(yī)療隊(duì)參加了博覽會，我們毫不猶豫出發(fā),，既希望了解更多中醫(yī)文化,，也想再次對胡莎醫(yī)生和中國醫(yī)療隊(duì)表示感謝?！?/p>

“We are very grateful to the Chinese medical team, especially Dr. Hu Sha for her acupuncture treatment. When we heard that the Chinese medical team participated in the fair, we set off without hesitation. We not only hope to learn more about the culture of TCM, but also want to express our gratitude once again to Dr. Hu Sha and the Chinese medical team.” Martha said.

瑪?shù)俸秃Y(jié)緣于去年4月,。當(dāng)時(shí)的瑪?shù)僖驗(yàn)殚L期腰痛和全身多處關(guān)節(jié)疼痛來中醫(yī)藥中心做針灸治療，效果很好?，?shù)賮碜圆祭呒s,，距離位于哈拉雷的中醫(yī)藥中心445公里?？祻?fù)后的她向身邊的親人朋友強(qiáng)烈推薦中醫(yī)針灸,，并組織了14人的病友團(tuán)，克服種種困難一起來中醫(yī)中心治療,。經(jīng)過針灸治療,，這些病友們的背痛、膝蓋痛,、踝關(guān)節(jié)痛等疾病病情大為好轉(zhuǎn),。

Last April, Marsha went to the Zimbabwe Chinese Medicine Center for acupuncture treatment due to her chronic lumbago and multiple joint pains. The treatment was very effective. Marsha comes from Bulawayo, which is 445 kilometers away from the center located in Harare. After her recovery, she strongly recommended the acupuncture of TCM to her family and friends and organized a group of 14 patients to come to the center for treatment despite various difficulties. Upon receiving acupuncture treatment, the patient's back pain, knee pain, and ankle joint pain improved significantly.
