A Chinese acupuncture technique promotion center was inaugurated Monday in Ben Aknoun Hospital in Algiers, in the presence of members of the Chinese medical team and representatives of the hospital.
 
The center serves as a platform for promoting and advancing traditional Chinese acupuncture practices and knowledge in Algeria. It will focus on triple puncture technique, which is simple and convenient to operate and is very effective in treating pain problems.
 
The center will also provide opportunities for Algerian healthcare practitioners to learn about Chinese traditional medicine techniques, which provides an alternative to surgery.
 
This center will further enhance bilateral collaboration in the health sector between China and Algeria, and facilitate the exchange of expertise, knowledge, and resources.
