促进国际中医药规范管理。为促进中医药在全球范围内的规范发展，保障安全、有效、合理应用，中国推动在国际标准化组织（ISO）成立中医药技术委员会（ISO/TC249），秘书处设在中国上海，目前已发布一批中医药国际标准。在中国推动下，世界卫生组织将以中医药为主体的传统医学纳入新版国际疾病分类（ICD-11）。积极推动传统药监督管理国际交流与合作，保障传统药安全有效。

　　开展中医药对外援助。中国在致力于自身发展的同时，坚持向发展中国家提供力所能及的援助，承担相应国际义务。目前，中国已向亚洲、非洲、拉丁美洲的70多个国家派遣了医疗队，基本上每个医疗队中都有中医药人员，约占医务人员总数的10%。在非洲国家启动建设中国中医中心，在科威特、阿尔及利亚、突尼斯、摩洛哥、马耳他、纳米比亚等国家还设有专门的中医医疗队（点）。截至目前，中国政府在海外支持建立了10个中医药中心。近年来，中国加强在发展中国家特别是非洲国家开展艾滋病、疟疾等疾病防治，先后派出中医技术人员400余名，分赴坦桑尼亚、科摩罗、印度尼西亚等40多个国家。援外医疗队采用中药、针灸、推拿以及中西医结合方法治疗了不少疑难重症，挽救了许多垂危病人的生命，得到受援国政府和人民的充分肯定。

Promoting standard management of TCM internationally. To promote the orderly development of TCM around the globe and ensure its safe, efficient and targeted application, China has facilitated the founding of the ISO/TC249 Traditional Chinese Medicine in the ISO. With its secretariat in Shanghai, it has now issued a series of ISO standards on TCM. Thanks to China's efforts, the WHO has included traditional medicine, represented by TCM, in the new version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). China is working actively to promote international exchange and cooperation in the supervision and management of traditional medicine, in an effort to ensure that it is safe and effective.

Providing TCM medical aid overseas. While seeking its own development, within its capacity China has persisted in providing aid and assistance to other developing countries, fulfilling its due international obligations. To date, China has sent medical teams to over 70 countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, with TCM professionals in almost every team, accounting for 10 percent of the total number of staff. A project has been launched to build TCM centers in African countries, and specialized TCM stations have opened in Kuwait, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Malta, and Namibia. The Chinese government has sponsored 10 TCM centers overseas. In recent years, China has strengthened work in the prevention and control of AIDS and malaria in developing countries, and in African countries in particular, sending a total of 400 TCM specialists to more than 40 countries including Tanzania, Comoros, and Indonesia. Chinese medical teams have treated complicated and refractory diseases with TCM, acupuncture and moxibustion, medical massage, and methods combining Chinese and Western medicine, saving many lives and winning extensive appreciation from governments and people concerned.
