Abstract

: The Polish Jesuit missionary Michl Piotr Boym was the first European in the middle of 17th century, who studied Chinese medicine and brought that knowledge from China to Europe. Two first doctoral theses on Chinese medicine were defended in Poland in the 1930s. Medical acupuncture was introduced in 1978 and taught by Prof. Zbigniew Garnuszewski in Warsaw and officially recognized. The real traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) education started in 1986 in Krakow and after some years of private education the first TCM school was established. In Poland, education in TCM is not regulated until now and different TCM schools have their own curriculum, level and duration of education. There are six associations for acupunture and TCM in Poland. Two of them are really active. TCM and acupuncture are not regulated by Polish law, but they are not prohibited. Acupuncturists as well as herbalist-phytotherapists are officially recognized by the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy. TCM can be practiced clinically by anyone and is not controlled by any professional TCM authorities. The number of TCM clinics is growing all over Poland due to the weakness of the public health system. Many patients are seeking holistic and safe treatment free of negative side effects.

波兰的中医药管理

17世纪中叶，波兰耶稣会传教士米歇尔·彼得·博伊姆是第一位研究中医并将其从中国带到欧洲的欧洲人。20世纪30年代，两篇最早的中医博士论文在波兰获得了答辩。医学针灸于1978年引进，由Zbigniew Garnuszewski教授在华沙授课，并得到官方承认。真正的中医教育始于1986年在克拉科夫，经过几年的私立教育，第一所中医学校成立了。在波兰，中医教育直到现在还没有得到规范，不同的中医学校有自己的课程、水平和教育时间。在波兰有六个针灸和中医协会。其中两个非常活跃。中医和针灸不受波兰法律的管制，但也没有被禁止。针灸师和草药治疗师都是劳动和社会政策部正式认可的。任何人都可以在临床上实践中医，不受任何专业中医权威机构的控制。由于公共卫生系统的薄弱，波兰各地的中医诊所数量正在增长。许多患者正在寻求全面、安全、无副作用的治疗方法。
