“Tsara be.” Recently, at the Madagascar Traditional Chinese Medicine Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Hunan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine), a Madagascar governor, Hery Rasoamaromaka, gave a thumbs up to the medical staff. A Chinese friend on the side translated: "He is complimenting you for being so good!" "In Madagascar, which is about 9,000 kilometers away from China, the culture of traditional Chinese medicine is gaining strength.

Known as the pearl of the Southwest India Ocean, Madagascar is rich in natural resources, but has weak infrastructure and poor medical standards. In May 2024, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Hunan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine) selected a medical team of 4 medical backbones to go to Madagascar to participate in the preparation for the establishment of the Chinese medicine center. After the establishment of the TCM center, it was immediately "favored" by local patients, and many people came to experience the miraculous curative effects of the "Oriental Secret Technique".

"I remember when Governor Hery Rasoamaromaka first walked into our center three months ago, she had a terrible pain in her right shoulder, limited movement, and couldn't sleep all night, so she had to rely on painkillers to survive so as not to delay her work. After being introduced and accompanied by Chinese friends, they came to our center for medical treatment, hoping to receive systematic TCM treatment. Wang Liwei, a member of the medical team and a nurse in charge, recalled that even though there was a language barrier at that time, everyone worked hard to communicate with the help of translators and did not want to miss any opportunity to promote the culture of traditional Chinese medicine.

The medical team conducted a comprehensive and systematic assessment of the governor and formulated a personalized TCM treatment plan for him. Acupuncture, moxibustion, manipulation, cupping...... At each of these steps, members of the medical team carefully observed the governor's physical condition.

Governor Hery Rasoamaromaka told me in a translator, "During the treatment, I felt a warm current slowly thaw my frozen arm, and Chinese medicine is amazing!" Wang Liwei said that he felt a sense of accomplishment when he heard him say "thank you" in the Falklands accent.

"In the past five months, the TCM center has received hundreds of medical and surgical patients, and the characteristic treatment of TCM has brought good news to patients with neck, shoulder, back and leg pain." Ruan Hongliang, the leader of the medical team, roughly calculated, up to now, has carried out orthopedic surgery for local Chinese and Chinese-funded enterprise employees 4 times, on September 4, the Chinese medicine center also successfully treated a Chinese compatriot with sudden chest pain, uninterrupted guard for 8 hours, until the patient is out of danger, all of which are well received by local Chinese.

At present, the medical equipment of the TCM center has been basically completed, and with the passage of time, the efficacy of TCM acupuncture treatment has gradually emerged, and more and more local people have begun to accept and trust this treatment method. Next, the medical team will work together to strengthen the training of Madagascar's local medical personnel in TCM techniques, so that the seeds of Huxiang TCM culture can take root in Madagascar.
