摘要

本文考虑了对补充医学的兴趣和使用的增加。这场运动是由消费者发起的,而不是由医疗保健专业人员或医疗保健资助者发起的。在南非,1999年进行了一项试点研究,以确定现有的数据来源和整理信息,作为对补充医学的实践和兴趣的初步基线。这篇论文总结了那项研究的结果。描述了南非补充医学实践的法律框架,给出了治疗的范围,并估计了从业人员的数量。报告了消费者使用的初步迹象和医疗计划的覆盖范围。介绍了非洲传统医学的现状。为精算师希望获得更多的了解这种消费者驱动的运动的资源建议。

The fall of the bamboo curtain : a review of complementary medicine in South Africa
This paper considers the increased interest in and usage of complementary medicine. The movement is being led worldwide, not by healthcare professionals or the funders of healthcare, but by consumers. In South Africa, a pilot study was undertaken in 1999 to identify existing sources of data and collate information as an initial baseline of the practice of and interest in complementary medicine. The paper summarises the findings of that study. The legal framework for the practice of complementary medicine in South Africa is described, the range of therapies is given and the number of practitioners is estimated. First indications of the use by consumers and the coverage by medical schemes are reported. An introduction to the status of African traditional medicine is given. Resources for the actuary wishing to gain more understanding of this consumer-driven movement are suggested.
